If you have had reports of only two PC98 machines that certainly is not a big enough sample! Here is a *non* PC98 machine report. My 4 year old Toshiba Ultium (a Ppro machine with onboard aic 7880 scsi controller) does not boot. It can't find the root device and drops into the rootmount menu. Until now I haven't had any time to even hook up a serial port -- hope to send a more detailed report today. Also realize that the time period for shaking out this feature just isn't long enough. People have real lives and limited time. Even if GEOM were perfect. It is the nature of PC beast. If Bruce Evans leaves we will lose a voice of restraint. And *that* won't be replaced so easily.
