This really bit me- it shouldn't have- but it did.... I had a i386 system with a 4GB disk -- root partition ~1GB.... but the motherboard was setting up BIOS as a CHS instead of an LBA arrangement. The only time this showed up as problem was that when I reinstalled the loader (and related forth files), loader silently was not able to read /boot or /modules- the key word here is "silently". There ought to be a warning in loader(8) maybe about this? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
