Peter
I got this to work after some tweaking.
I was getting syntax errors from the hints file when booting.
I cut and pasted out of GENERIC.hints into my.hints and now it seems to boot without any errors.
I noticed I now have a new link in the / directory ::

lrwxr-xr-x   1 root  wheel       10 Jun 14 11:18 ttyv0@ -> /dev/ttyv0

is this normal ?
Also it seems that there is a order in the hints file that needs to be followed.
Manfred
