hmm. We might have found the culprit.
I'm using fbsdboot, too. Sorry for the incomplete information. I just didn't
realized the possibility of the boot-method influencing a loaded kernel.

I'm using fbsdboot for a slightly different reason.
I'm multibooting the machine with FreeBSD SMP and UP, NT WS, NT Server and DOS/Win.
(BSD's bootslice occupies sd1, NTs and Win95 are booting of sd0; the data-partitions
are spreaded around 3 disks [bootdisks included])
Using booteasy I had difficulties with NT's harddisk-manager. This thing
obviously insists on marking the bootsector with a so called signature, before
taking any actions on the harddisks; thereby it used to overwrite the booteasy-code?
Maybe I should try to boot the bsd-system directly from the NT-Bootmanager.
I've tried that once, but without much success.
Regards,
Andreas
