This is a problem. doing this from the OF console (btw, it's partition number 11 on disk 0 (disk0s11)) results in the following:=20 DISK-LABEL: LOAD (noninterposed) not supportedload-size=3D0 adler32=3D1 LOAD-SIZE is too small ok 0 >=20 ... I've tried all numbers after hd up to 16. Should I be specifying the device to read too? (the physical medium?) If so, how? (disk0s10 : HFS+ 64MB) txbi?=20 (disk0s11 : UFS2 40GB) / (disk1s10 : SWAP 4GB)=20 (disk1s11 : UFS2 56GB) /usr=20 > > > > Another question, does the loader have to reside in the same place as > > the /boot directory? or can I leave /boot on the / UFS2 partition > > andmerely use the loader? > > >=20 > The loader resides in a HFS partition, which is not the /boot > partition.
