So far I have received two bug reports that new boot0 will hang. However, in both instances, neither party had ever used the old boot0, so we don't know if it worked either. Also, in both cases the new /boot/mbr worked fine, and it uses the same BIOS calls for disk access that boot0 uses. *sigh* In both cases, boot0 was being loaded from a SCSI disk with an 2940 Adaptec adapter. However, I have succesfully booted with the new boot0 from a SCSI disk with a 2940, so it seems to be a very obscure bug that I'll try to fix when I get some hardware that I can reproduce it on. I also received several favorable test reports after putting my patch to 4.x up for people to test. -- John Baldwin <jhb@FreeBSD.org> -- http://www.FreeBSD.org/~jhb/ PGP Key: http://www.cslab.vt.edu/~jobaldwi/pgpkey.asc "Power Users Use the Power to Serve!" - http://www.FreeBSD.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
