I have just backed out revision 1.7 of src/sys/boot/alpha/Makefile.inc which moved the load address of /boot/loader. The reason for backing it out is that it was too easy for someone to break their system by installing a new world without upgrading their primary bootstrap using disklabel. Unfortunately, this backout similarly affects the (hopefully smaller) group of people who have upgraded since 2000/09/18. Please make sure that after your next installworld, you carefully re-label your disk using something like: # disklabel -B /dev/da0c -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
