Please see the previous >threads on this topic, especially anything from Robert Nordier. > The most relevant piece I can find from R. Nordier is the following: "The fbsdboot.exe program should probably be considered obsolete. It should (in theory) be possible to use it to load /boot/loader, which can then load the kernel, but there are various reasons this doesn't work too well." I have not tested the updated program with /boot/loader. /boot/loader does not help me because my root directory is in a memory file system, and I can not assume that my users will want to reformat their DOS drives or even repartition it. So all FreeBSD files are in the DOS file system. --Carlos To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
