It seems the config file you speak of is loader.conf located in /boot/defaults - but I notice that it does not set the boot drive (although it can) - I tried setting it - no go. If the boot drice is compiled into the kernel I don't know how - I have never seen it in the kernel config files or set it before compiling a kernel. > You probably > need to use some command line switches to get an initial boot; Tried -a and -r that only got me a panic and immediate reboot > You sound more knowledgeable than I am.
