Sure. It'll probably help if I tell you what I did to install it, as well,
no? :-)

About an hour ago I CVSupped the system (I made world about four or five
hours ago, with freshly CVSupped sources).

natasya:~/src/btxboot-0.8.1% cd /sys/boot/i386/
natasya:/sys/boot/i386% make clean && make
[snip]
natasya:/sys/boot/i386% cd ~/src/btxboot-0.8.1/
natasya:~/src/btxboot-0.8.1% make clean && make
natasya:~/src/btxboot-0.8.1% su -m                  
Password:
natasya:~/src/btxboot-0.8.1# disklabel -B -b ./btxboot1 -s ./btxboot2 /dev/rda0s1

Then I rebooted and got this:

F1 . . . BSD

Default: F1
int=0000000e  err=00000005  efl=00030202  eip=00001af0
eax=00000800  ebx=000003a2  ecx=00000000  edx=00000080
esi=00001264  edi=00000000  ebp=000003aa  esp=0000039e
cs=c800  ds=0040  es=9f77  fs=0000  gs=0000  ss=9f77
cs:eip=3a 54 1b 75 08 80 7c 10-55 75 02 eb 05 5e 1f e9
ss:esp=64 12 40 00 00 00 00 00-00 00 4b 15 00 00 00 00

And there you go. Should we stop hijacking Jordan's threads and move
this somewhere else? :-)
