I guess we must have been very near to the runtime memory limit for boot1 with 8k buffers. Now that I look more carefully, there may be a 48k limit for boot1 based on the PRIMARY_LOAD_ADDRESS and SECONDARY_LOAD_ADDRESS definitions. That would certainly explain why 4*8k buffers worked, but 4*16k didn't - sorry for suggesting that you hadn't installed the new blocks correctly :-) Ian To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
