Hi,

I configured my SheevaPlug like this:
http://wiki.freebsd.org/NAND#Static_NAND_partitioning

Now I'm running with this little local patch.
Index: sys/boot/fdt/dts/sheevaplug.dts

                                 label = "root";
                         };
                 };

Not a problem, but I wonder why the config in wiki is different to the  
config in svn.
Can somebody explain this?
Is there a better way to load the kernel than the fbsd-boot slice in nand?  
I could imagine a bootloader loading the kernel from the 'root' slice, but  
can't find any information how to configure that (if it already exists).

Regards,
Ronald.
