I got around the lack of IRQ on pcic1 by means of a trick involving
hw.... sets in loader.conf (thanks to the mobile contributors); now it
won't mount root.
I know what the problem is but not why; the loader brings the kernel in
fine, and probes work fine; I'd presume if the partition were too high this
would be where the failure would lie. However, the layout is (LBA):
----------------------------
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 7,(OS/2 HPFS, NTFS, QNX-2 (16 bit) or Advanced UNIX)
start 63, size 33543657 (16378 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 0/ head 1/ sector 1;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 2 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 33543720, size 8177085 (3992 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 3 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 41720805, size 8177085 (3992 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63
The data for partition 4 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 49897890, size 28242270 (13790 Meg), flag 0
beg: cyl 1023/ head 255/ sector 63;
end: cyl 1023/ head 254/ sector 63

Note that slice 2 begins JUST below a power of 2 (33554432), and boots
fine. Slice 2 has stable on it, slice 3 current, slice 4 == "/d" and
contains home dirs etc.
Yes I know, I could make slice 1 smaller. However, I don't know an NTFS
version of partition magic. Sony's reinstaller does allow me to make
the partition smaller and I suspect I'll have to do this, with a complete
reinstall of everything. However, especially on a new system where I
might have to deal with the warranty, I like to leave the windoze system
alone :-(
Now, why is there a mount-root problem at 16mb where the bios limit
should end up at 8mb. The "bad" line is at 2**25?????
Note that stable (once it is up) gets to all the slices just fine (that
is how I've been installing, cross-compiling from -stable).
