I'm going to be addressing this soon with a www-based send-pr that
anyone can use.  NetBSD has kindly donated their CGI scripts for this.

I'm afraid we wouldn't have the manpower to process the entries. :-(

Hmmm.  Do you have two IDE drives or one?  I know that FreeBSD doesn't
like it much if you do, and demands that you configure your CDROM as a
slave on the primary interface if so.  As to why fbsdboot doesn't work,
that's hard to say.  That utility is DOS based, totally outside my
area of knowledge and the original author has long since gone on to
better things! :-)
