I have been using a patch created by somebody on the list from a few days back that has worked quite well. However, I have noted a lot of activity surrounding the boot process. I don't know if I missed anything, but perhaps this works now. I have been using the following in my loader.rc: set currdev=disk2s1a set rootdev=disk2s1a boot /kernel Is this still necessary? I have tried building the kernel without the patch and leaving my loader.rc as is and it still tries to boot off of wd1 instead of wd2. Is there a new parameter perhaps?
