Strange. The boot0 code should load /boot/loader, not the kernel. (While it is possible to load the kernel directly under certain conditions, AFAIK, it is better to go the "official" way and let the bootloader do its job.) Have you modified the boot sequence on that USB stick in a special way? Please make sure that it contains the proper infrastructure, i.e. a /boot directory with the loader, a kernel subdirectory etc. If it still fails, I suggest you try a more recent version of FreeBSD. I don't know if it's related to your problem, but there has been a significant change in the boot loader code (so-called BTX) that fixes USB-booting on certain machines. You can either csup RELENG_7 and build a fresh /boot directory, or fetch it from the June snapshot. Then replace /boot/loader on your USB stick with the new one, and don't forget to re-install the bootblocks, too (bsdlabel -B). Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.
