Well, it sounds like the new boot manager (which is not BOOTEASY,
even though it looks a bit like it) is in fact broken somehow,
even though it works on my test machines (damn!).  Could you tell
us a bit more about whether this was a dedicated/non-dedicated
installation, whether there were other OSes on the disk, etc etc?

I really would like to continue using the new boot0 since it's
the first time we've had a boot manager for which the sources were
compiliable and maintained under the FreeBSD tree, unlike BOOTEASY
which was a DOS program getting ever more stale under our umbrella.

P.S. to Robert:  I *told* you we should have made those prompts
look more different; people are still confusing it with BOOTEASY! :-)
