>Description:
I have two IDE disks and four SCSI disks and want to boot FreeBSD from
the third SCSI disk. As I've ever done before, I tried to make biosboot
with the option:

>How-To-Repeat:
Make biosboot with the option above.

>Fix:
Specify "4:sd(2,a)kernel" in /boot.config.

>Audit-Trail:
>Unformatted:
>CFLAGS+=	-DBOOT_HD_BIAS=2

But I couldn't make with the following error.

>dd if=boot.nohdr of=boot2 bs=512 skip=1
>14+1 records in
>14+1 records out
>7216 bytes transferred in 0.001366 secs (5282502 bytes/sec)
>boot2 is too big
>*** Error code 2

>Stop.
