Has the boot loader / kernel been changed to allow booting off of the
secondary IDE master yet, or more correctly, has a solution been found (for
3.0-STABLE)? I have been using a patch created by somebody on the list from
a few days back that has worked quite well. However, I have noted a lot of
activity surrounding the boot process. I don't know if I missed anything,
but perhaps this works now. I have been using the following in my
loader.rc:
set currdev=disk2s1a
set rootdev=disk2s1a
boot /kernel
Is this still necessary? I have tried building the kernel without the patch
and leaving my loader.rc as is and it still tries to boot off of wd1 instead
of wd2. Is there a new parameter perhaps?
