Thanks. If this were to work, how would I get an updated copy of booteasy written to the MBR of the hard disk? This is not currently a production machine, so I can afford to do things like cvsup, then make buildworld, make installworld, mergemaster, etc.... If I'm going to give this a try, I want to make sure that I know what the process is for updating the MBR on the hard drive. > No, this is the loader itself faulting, BSD itself isn't actually up > and running yet, so we can't write to /var/crash at this point. That's what I figured.
