Now, I'm not sure that currdev and rootdev can be set that early in the boot, but it's worth a try e.g. add these: > > -e currdev="disk0p2:" -e rootdev="disk0p2:" > > later, Wait! I think I didn’t make it clear enough: the machine doesn’t boot. After I specify the currdev and rootdev the machine can successfully “load” the kernel but then it all totally freezes at the spinning wheel… I’ll try with the -e on the command line but I think the problem is a bit beyond that.
