Sorry, could you refresh my memory - you're saying we need to set a partition active, or something? I'm not sure what the problem is here. Also, just curious: Is the kern.flp working correctly now in that it prompts for and correctly loads the mfsroot, then boots? If not, I still need to beat on the load script. > - To my surprise, the sysinstall partitioning phase did not find the > old NetBSD partitions on the disk. The reason I find this surprising Didn't they just change to 0xA9 or something? FreeBSD's view of the disk is determined solely by libdisk, so if it's out of sync with the kernel's own partition search order, that's something to look into. > - The sysinstall screen still gets the colors wrong. Hmmm. This should still be fixed, but even once it is we can perhaps stick with the same color scheme just to differentiate the alpha install? :-) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
