 I've installed 7.3-STABLE/amd64 under VMWare server now. This VM
 dows not show the 'FATAL: int13_harddisk: function 42. Can't use
 64bits lba' issue and seems to behave exactly like my hardware this
 pr is referring to.
 
 After a screen full of
 
 builtin not found
 forth not found
 
 I see
 
 only not found
 
 can't load 'kernel'
 
 Type '?' for a list of commands. 'help' for more detailed help.
 OK ls
 open '/' failed: input/output error
 OS lsdev
 cd devices:
 disk devices:
     disk0:   BIOS drive A:
     disk1:   BIOS drive C:
     disk2:   BIOS drive D:
 pxe devices:
 zfs devices:
 OK
 
 So the systems was able to load zfsloader from my zfsroot and forgot
 where to load the kernel from. Correct?
 
 Thanks,
 Knarf
 
 P.S.: This time without annoying S/MIME signature, displayed under
 http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=145613&cat= , but it's
 still me. :)
