Apologies to all, this was a pilot error. /boot/defaults/loader.conf was referencing disk1s1a -- it should have been disk2s1a (I forgot the floppy was included in the unit count). After a few interesting floppy boots / fdisk / disklabel sessions, I got the thingie to work. One point, though: the GENERIC kernel on the snapshot install was (obvioulsy) unaware of my peculiar setup and thus refused to load /boot/loader. This might prove a bit puzzling for newbies like me... and thus might deserve an FAQ entry. All in all, absence of answers proved to be the best incentive to hack around. Oh well, you learn everyday :-) Best Regards, PYD To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
