Today I managed to place a new kernel in a seemingly bad area on my
root partition.  When I try to boot, It starts to load the kernel
and then shortly after gives me one of these..

Error: C:1029 > 1023 (BIOS limit)

As far as I can tell, this should not happen.  I used the default geomerty
that the FreeBSD install gave me (with no DOS compatibility.

Anyone else ever experienced this?

Anyway, thats about it.. laters,
chris
