In vmware2 I am not able to boot the kernel from boot2, it hangs after loading the kernelfile. Using loader it goes fine. I tried current,stable and generic kernels, all without luck. This was not really a problem, until I wanted to use etherboot, where I ofcourse can't use loader. Any help or insight into this will be gladly accepted :-) Mark -- Mark Santcroos RIPE Network Coordination Centre http://www.ripe.net/home/mark/ New Projects Group/TTM To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
