> Conclusion: 3.0-RELEASE/floppies/boot.flp is broken. 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. - Jordan P.S. to Robert: I *told* you we should have made those prompts look more different; people are still confusing it with BOOTEASY! :-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
