Hi all,

Running 4.0-STABLE (though I had the same issue in 4.0-RELEASE).  I've got
a 10 gig IDE Hard drive with two FAT32 paritions taking 2 gig and 6 gig,
and then a 2.4 gig FreeBSD partition.

/    - 100 megs
/var - 100 megs
swap - 268 megs
/usr - 1800 megs

On bootup, I get the following:

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT 
   Default: 0:ad(0,a)?
   boot: /load /boot/loader
   Disk error 0x1 (lba=0xfc093c)
   No /boot/loader

The system continues to boot /kernel automatically and runs fine from
there.  (I've patched the kernel per kern/17422 to get top, vmstat
etc. working).  For the record, /boot/loader *does* exist.

I've read an explanation about the 1024 cylinder limit, but I used the
exact same configuration with 3.4-STABLE and /boot/loader worked fine.

Any assistance would be appreciated.

Regards, Roddie
