I know that this subject has been beaten to death, but I have to ask a very general question. Will /boot/loader be able to boot an elf kernel off of the secondary IDE master (wd2s1a) by the time the source code branches of on the 15th (date ?)? I assume that from that point on we will see both a 3.0 -current and -stable tree. I realize that -stable will take time to stablize, but I would assume that there would have to be a known path to stablization, or it would be no different than -current. I was under the impression that this would require a kernel change so that it would recognize the $rootdev variable as the device to boot from. If this isn't to be in by the branch date, which branch should I follow more closely to get this?
