Actually, what this tells is is that fbsdboot.exe should be deprecated because: A) It's never been that well supported in the past as it is. B) It's clearly vulnerable to future Microsoft braindamage. C) I'd prefer not to rely on M$ behavior in anything resembling a supported installation feature. So, given all of that, I will now work to remove all references to fbsdboot.exe in our installation instructions and simply recommend that a boot floppy be used in *all* installation cases. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
