I do not think loader can see stuff in other partitions. The loader also resides in /boot. Besides, if you can't mount / (including /etc), there really is no point to keep /boot somewhere else. -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
