Yes. I use hd(1,a) to boot and it works !! This only leaves more questions
to me : why the bootstrap code automatically select sd(1,a) rather than
hd(1,a) ? (A bug ?) Why orginally sd(1,a) (or whatever it selected
automatically) worked but not any more ? (A bug ?)
I will try to re-install my FreeBSD several times until I can pinpoint
where went wrong.

I am having exactly the same thing. If I start -auto mode I get 'host is
down'. I am using the identical script, a modified 'ondemand' once
without auto then with -auto. route add default <ISP-address> works so
it appears that the -auto is not setting up the route default properly. I
believe adding route add default to sysconfig will solve that problem.
I have another problem, however. If I enable named, the boot sequence
seems to hang at the route add point. If I ^C at that point I get
...clearing /tmp and boot. Bring up iij-ppp first manually then -auto
works fine and will time out after 120 secs of no activity.
On the other hand, if I wait at the apparent hang, after about two minutes
the boot continues. Then if I bring up iijj-ppp manual then -auto, **it
will never turn off!**. tcpdump -i tun0 shows my router and my ISP's
router exchanging packets ever 30 secs or so.
Can some guru tell me what is different between waiting for the boot
sequence to time out and exiting from the route add sequence which
renders the ondemand feature unusable?
