KEITHLEY" Sender: hackers-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Got the 2.1.0--SNAP running earlier this evening. Only used it for a couple of hours -- long enough to rebuild the kernel with the busmouse turned on and ftp over the man pages that I forget to get in the install. But... Using fdisk I'm unable to set my OS/2 HPFS partition as bootable. I've got to boot on a floppy, set the boot partition, and then reboot to get back to OS/2. This was not true of the 1.1.5.1 fdisk. Someone will no doubt suggest using Booteasy or BootManager, which would no doubt work, but not the point, fdisk should work. I might try to fix it. I bet having the source to the 1.1.5.1 fdisk might make it easier, or it might not. Separate Subject: someone said a newer 2.1.0 snap was imminent. I'll switch to that when it's available. -- Kaleb KEITHLEY
