"medusa" is "Box B": medusa# cmp -x /boot/boot2 box_a_boot/boot2 00000910 0c 08 00000914 08 0c 00000920 03 01 00000922 01 03 00000923 43 41 00000924 41 43 00001bc9 01 0c 2. Comparing /boot/boot from 5.2.1-RELEASE and the latest cvs HEAD shows an immense amount of differences. This is probably justified. 3. Using /boot/boot from 5.2.1-RELEASE on "Box B" works flawlessly. 0:ad(0,a) is chosen as expected, and everything is beautiful. 4. #3 works fine using cvs HEAD's 'disklabel' binary, so the utility itself is likely fine. Just wanted to throw all this out there for documentation/discussion pruposes. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. |
