Hi! HP-RX2600 (2xItanium2) EFI loader, kernel has copied from Live CD on EFI partition. Loaders "lsdev" show only EFI partition. So in currdev, rootdev I can point only it. Kernel loading and I get prompt to point root partition by hand. Put ufs:ad0s2b at the prompt and system loaded. Is a way to point ad0s2b as parameter for the kernel? I think, I can to assemble kernel in the root partition, statically point root partition , put the kernel in EFI, and boot kernel with -r. I'm FreeBSD nivice, so may I miss simpler way? Thanks! Alexander
