(I notice the file is part of the i386 subdirectory) I have a laptop (runs FreeBSD / i386) which works ok with the internal drive, but refuses to boot from an external (usb) hard drive [1]. I wonder if this fix would help with this problem... 1) The problem is hard to debug, because as soon as I try too boot a FreeBSD partition off a usb hard drive, the screen starts scrolling what looks like register dumps (hard to tell, it rolls by too quickly) in an endless loop. However, I have no problems booting NetBSD or OpenBSD from other partitions on the same hard drive. -- Regards, Torfinn Ingolfsen, Norway
