>Release: FreeBSD 2.2.5-RELEASE i386 , probably 2.2.6 also
>Environment:
kernel build environment on a 2.2.5-RELEASE System
>Description:
/sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile
contains a line:
#CFLAGS+= -DBOOT_HD_BIAS=1
enabling this line (to hardwire booting other than the default drives)
leads to
dd if=boot.nohdr of=boot2 bs=512 skip=1
14+1 records in
14+1 records out
7200 bytes transferred in 0.001654 secs (4353007 bytes/sec)
boot2 is too big
*** Error code 2
Stop.
> How-To-Repeat:
Enable the line
CFLAGS+= -DBOOT_HD_BIAS=1
in /sys/i386/boot/biosboot/Makefile
and 'make'.
>How-To-Repeat:
>Fix:
no userwise fix in sight. Probably the added code must be streamlined
or module must be optimized harder.
