Part of this is lazy coding on my part, which can be fixed, but the problem is triggered by the fact that the i386 kernel does not expose the machdep.bootmethod sysctl that the amd64 one does. I can fix this in bsdinstall, but we may also want to provide the same sysctl on i386 for consistency. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
