Looks like a unified diff to me... The text leading up to this was: -------------------------- |Index: boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c |=================================================================== |--- boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c (revision 232297) |+++ boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c (working copy) -------------------------- Patching file /sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c using Plan A... Hunk #1 failed at 225. Hunk #2 failed at 242. Hunk #3 failed at 265. 3 out of 3 hunks failed--saving rejects to /sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c.rej Hmm... Ignoring the trailing garbage. done ---- I'll give you a hint (which I've mentioned at start) In order to expose bug, 2 conditions have to be met: 1) boot.config in use 2) daX device (i.e; USB stick) That is ... I've created vnode image. Then, ... when I 'dd' it to HDD's slice, it boots. BUT when I 'dd' it to USB's slice it hangs. Domagoj Smolčić
