It's always worked on all platforms except the rawhide (AS1200, AS4000, AS4100 and the "ultimate workstation" & whitebox versions of the former). Well, maybe that's too generous; the loader has had serious bugs before.. Let's just say that _this_ bug has never been seen on any other platform and has always been seen on this platform. <...> > for the filesystem, or it might be some mis-ported ufs code.

I can't imagine creating boot floppies for each boot attempt on a brand new platform that I don't have proper documentation for. Ugh. Diskless booting is how I do most of my installs here too. I'm not sure if anybody has netbooted a rawhide though... Matt? Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
