Booting will also be attempted at stage tw= o, if the third stage cannot be loaded. I tried to boot freebsd without using loader ( via boot2 by specifying a kernel file name) . As a result the system just say : BTX halted. -- 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel ... BTX halted -- I propose to edit man 8 boot and remove misleading information. Obviously boot2 can not boot kernel directly. --=20 You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.=
