Now, I'm not sure that currdev and rootdev can be set = that early in the boot, but it's worth a try e.g. add these: >=20 > -e currdev=3D"disk0p2:" -e rootdev=3D"disk0p2:" >=20 > later, Wait! I think I didn=E2=80=99t make it clear enough: the machine = doesn=E2=80=99t boot. After I specify the currdev and rootdev the = machine can successfully =E2=80=9Cload=E2=80=9D the kernel but then it = all totally freezes at the spinning wheel=E2=80=A6 I=E2=80=99ll try with the -e on the command line but I think the problem = is a bit beyond that.
