Hi,

I've installed 4.3-RELEASE onto a system with a Mylex AcceleRAID 170.  As I
understand the 4.3 release notes, this card will work but can't be booted
from.  I didn't know this, and now need to come up with a workaround.

My plan is to do something like put the loader onto a floppy and use that
to boot from.  Will this be able to load the kernel from the RAID array or
do I need to have the kernel on the disk too?

I presume I can just set rootdev=/dev/da0 in loader.conf to have the root
fs set accordingly?
