First, an explanation: In 3.0, we're no longer using booteasy, we're
using Robert Nordier's boot0 replacement which is hosted entirely
under FreeBSD (a major win).  However, some people have also reported
big problems with this so, for the mean time, I've decided to go back
to booteasy with sysinstall until we figure out what's going on.  The
3.0 SNAPshots will still continue to use the boot0 code so those
wishing to help Robert figure out what's going on can and should
continue to install snaps from current.freebsd.org.  The 3.0 release
bits on ftp.freebsd.org (and the 3.0-RELEASE CDROMs) will continue to
use the older booteasy bits for now; I've just re-rolled and copied
over boot floppy bits which do so.
