Any tips on loading /boot/loader from a floppy, which then loads the kernel off wd0s2a? Or is /boot/loader still limited?

The booting tools in general need a major update for elf, I wish I knew how to help :/ > -Alfred > Tugrul Galatali To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
