I just did a "make buildworld; make installworld; mergemaster"

I am not at home at teh moment and the laptop is the only machine there

I will re-install it and try it again with your suggested hack

As for what's there I'm not kidding when I say "too fast for my neurons".
It flashes past so quickly I;m not completely sure at all what I'm seeing.
CDROM bootblocks worked fine :-)
