>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.5-STABLE i386
>Environment:

	Pentium 75MHz with Matsushita/Panasonic CR-563 CD-ROM drive, 1
	IDE drive, Adaptec 2940AU SCSI adapter, Iomega SCSI ZIP 100 drive.

>Description:

	With the 2.1.5 CD, I could run (from DOS)

		fbsdboot -c -D kernel

	and the kernel would drop into device configuration system and
	allow me to set IRQs and IO addresses.  This was important
	because my Panasonic CR-562 is not at the standard address,
	and I wanted to have the kernel see it so I could install from
	CD.

	With the 2.1.6 CD, I tried running the same command, and
	various incantations (put `-c' at the end, combined `-cD',
	etc.) and the kernel skipped right over the configuration.
	Actually, it showed the configuration stuff and the word
	`quit' at the configuration prompt and immediately continued
	(sorry, I don't recall if that's normal).

	I thought it might be a problem with the version of
	fbsdboot.exe on the 2.1.6 CD, but I tried the 2.1.5 CD-ROM's
	fbsdboot.exe, and I copied the the CD'S kernel file to my
	existing 2.1.5 root directory and tried to boot it with `-c',
	and it didn't work.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Boot DOS.  Insert 2.1.6 install CD in CD driver.  Run

		fbsdboot -c -D kernel

>Fix:
	
	N/A.
