Guys, I've verified that with my changes to sys/boot/ makefiles
I get the same binaries as before (modulo three byte difference
=66rom the vers.c stuff) for both loader{.sym,.bin,} and pxeboot,
after doing some minor mods to current versions of makefiles so
that btxcrt.o and vers.o are linked in the same order as they
did before. So should this issue exist (sorry, I cannot verify
the PXE booting at the moment), it must be elsewhere and doesn't
relate to my work in sys/boot/ makefiles.
Bjoern, I recall John was doing some work in libstand recently.
Can you see if reverting to the 2004/01/15 (GMT) version of
libstand cures your problem?
Cheers,
