Well, it's too late to tell... While I was waiting for your reply, I did another update. kern/vfs_conf.c got changed in the process. I suspect that means that my latest attempt did not have your latest change. > How old is the bootblock on the disk?

Sorry, I don't recall seeing that message. >Thanks for the response. And thanks for speaking up again. I'd prefer that we not need to back out the changes. My criteria for that are that 1) Most cases work and there is a work-around for the rest. 2) We document the hell out of the unexpected differences. Hopefully your latest change has taken care of (1) and someone is handling (2). I'll let you know just as soon I I get a new kernel to try.
