It seems boot1 does need fixing to handle different sizes. #define BUFSIZE 8192 #define MAPBUFSIZE BUFSIZE static char buf[BUFSIZE], fsbuf[BUFSIZE], iobuf[BUFSIZE]; It assumes a bufsize of 8192 at least. Perhaps buf, fsbuf, and iobuf should be malloc'd and should use a variable read from the disklabel rather than a constant? -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> <>< http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
