I don't think so, because actually I've made boot floppy with loader and kernel and then did the following: 1) booted loader from floppy 2) changed currdev in loader to point to my HDD (set currdev=disk1...) 3) boot-off kernel from floppy (boot disk0s4a:kernel) This sequence I've repeated on ISA based computer (my Toshiba laptop) and on PCI based desktop using *the same* diskette. In the first case kernel was trying to mount wd0... but in the second - ad0... To ensure that it is not bootblock problem I've just reinstalled both boot0 and boot1 on my laptop but it still trying to mount wd0. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
