I guess, I do need to elaborate -- I am running pearpc emulator under FreeBSD-current (as of 10/31) and it would not boot from CD, and I believe that I have seen something on this list stating that GEOM (that thingy we have for dealing with storage devices) is the reason, 'cause 'raw' devices are no longer that raw. Unfortunately, I am unable to locate that thread, or maybe I did imagine it altogether, so I would appreciate someone who knows GEOM straightening me up. Sorry for not being clear enough. --- Alexandre "Sunny" Kovalenko.
