> On a related topic (just to add my voice to other clarifications), > FreeBSD 4.2 is still using John's two-sector version of boot0, but > that almost certainly has nothing to do with what's going wrong on > Thinkpads Just FYI, but when I upgraded an old 3.0-current system to 4.1 on an old DEC Celebrus 6150 (150MHz PPro), the 2 sector boot0 caused booting problems. Based on this discussion, I went back to using the standard MBR (via /sbin/fdisk -B da0) and booting is working again. The work-around I was using was booting from a floppy. While this is hardly a modern peice of er, hardware, I hope that the datapoint might help. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
