I originally used the prep.fla.sh script from 3.4-RELEASE to prepare the DOC a few months ago. I haven't touched the MBR since then, but I replaced boot1 and boot2 with the 4.0-RELEASE versions by hand (disklabel). When I boot from the DOC, boot2 sees the DOC as BIOS drive 0, reads boot.conf, and tries 0:ad(0,a)/kernel.kgz after a few seconds. The kernel uncompresses, does its little dance, and eventually tries to mount the wrong root device. Things I haven't done yet are: * Try putting boot1 and boot2 on it again * Try using a non-kgzipped kernel =============================== Jeffrey S.
