Since early November (and up to and including an issue reported on -current yesterday), all apparent show-stopping problems with the new bootblocks have turned out to be due to configuration and/or pilot errors: where it has been possible to get further details. So if anyone still can't use the new bootblocks, there's almost certainly some simple and painless solution which doesn't require code fixes to sort out; and anyone who needs help is more than welcome to contact me. -- Robert Nordier To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
