Is the issue with a "changing" bootdevice during boot solved?
I saw some reports on problems when booting from a device that
wouldn't become the root-device -- resulting in "root device
doesn't match mounted device" when remounting "/".
I ask because I am using OS/2 bootloader (installed on wd0) to boot
FreeBSD from da0, and I ran into the abovementioned problem.
( - could be because I haven't configured wd-support in my kernel (only
M$-stuff there anyway :), but I'd like that to work as well.)
