Hi,
I'm having problems with the boot loader.

I tried to build an elf-kernel, saved it as kernel.elf, and followed
this procedure:

| Reboot, and at the boot: prompt type '/boot/loader', then abort the
| kernel load and type 'boot kernel.elf'.

but the boot-loader couldn't find anything on my hd.

I.e. it reports something like "'/': no such file or directory" when
typing ls, and it can't find either kernel nor kernel.elf.

# dmesg | grep ahc
ahc0: <Adaptec aic7890/91 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> rev 0x00 int a irq 19
on pci0.6.0
ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0
(da1:ahc0:0:6:0): tagged openings now 63
(da0:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 63

The FBSD root is located on da1 (da1s3a)

When booting, the boot-loader prompt (and hence the environment)
reports 'disk2s3a' which I presume is the equivalent of da1s3a.

I guess the problem is me trying to boot from da1?
