Sounds like the same problem that I had when trying to boot from UFS2. No way to get a new disklabel to work from SRM. It only worked with an old disklabel. Unfortunately I went out of time to investigate further. This is the last outstanding problem to boot from UFS2. If you already try this - can you please verify that an UFS2 enabled boot1 also works for UFS1 floppies? We could safely enable it then. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
