Anyway, after upgrading to 9.0, my USB stick, when created, started to hang at stage 2 boot. I have a custom setup, where BSD label 'a', has a content of /boot/* So when 'a' is being hit by stage 2 boot, there is boot.config waiting for it. After it reads it and displays it's content, it echos 'No' and hangs. I stare at it and can't believe as boot.config's information is correct! I hit '?' and it list all files in 'a'. Then I simply RE-type what is displayed on screen (content of boot.config -> path to loader) And loader kicks in! I do this a few times more and EACH time I have to RE-type correct info! Tested on other machine, same thing. However, this same custom layout works for HDD's, but NOT for USB stick. I've extracted binary installs of 8.2 and 9.0 R: MD5 (8_boot) = adb1e84e96bd434e51cafaaa0ef22584 MD5 (9_boot) = 40f3f6403ebd5e131259d1336b4b50ad Then: # gpart bootcode -b 8_boot da0s2 And sudenly that USB stick boots, without ANY other change! Just an "old" stage 2 boot code, from R8 was enough. Domagoj Smolčić
