When trying to boot this FBSD kernel from my old setup (on Disk 1), it can't find a kernel at 0:wd(0,a), 0:wd(1,a), 0:wd(2,a) or 0:wd(3,a). Selecting 1:wd(2,a) boots my old FBSD 3.1, as expected. Hard-disk setup: /dev/wd0s1 1046728 343448 703280 (DOS partition) /dev/wd0s3 39647 19044 17432 (FreeBSD-3.2) After the FBSD partition is my DOS extended partition. I expect the start of the FBSD-3.2 partition is before cylinder 1024, but I'v not found a way of checking, yet. >How-To-Repeat: Just try to boot. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
