I have a multiboot machine with Windows98, and as soon as I choose to boot FreeBSD (F3 for me) it starts the loader and then it fails with an assert error. I haven't yet been able to write down the exact errormessage, but I wanted to warn people upfront for this possible break in current. I wonder by the way what the correct recovery procedure is for a corrupted loader. with regards, Stephan -- Stephan van Beerschoten [SVB21-RIPE] stephanb@whacky.net PGP fingerprint: 4557 9761 B212 FB4C 778D 3529 C42A 2D27 "To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy" To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
