Well put.

Compiling and building the disk image are getting done from a 4.0-STABLE
box.  The disk image is then written in whole over the DOC, replacing
whatever was there.

--------------------
fdisk:

******* Working on device /dev/fla0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=995 heads=16 sectors/track=1 (16 blks/cyl)

parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=995 heads=16 sectors/track=1 (16 blks/cyl)

Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
    start 1, size 15919 (7 Meg), flag 80 (active)
        beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
        end: cyl 994/ sector 1/ head 15
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>

--------------------
boot2 command used to boot:

0:ad(0,a)/kernel.kgz -r

--------------------
error reported by kernel:

no devsw (majdev=30, bootdev=0xa020001e)

and then I get kicked into manual root fs selection.


If there is anything else I can provide that would be helpful to you,
don't hesitate to ask.
