I apologize for the tone in part of my previous message, but I"m a bit
grump after not being able to properly boot for over a month now. I've not
been able to rectify this with or without GEOM. However, without GEOM the
situation was different.

I'm not sure how much you want, so I'll start with 512 bytes. The other
obvious amount is the whole 8k of boot, and that seems a bit long.

edgemaster# cd /boot
edgemaster# dd if=3D/dev/ad1s1 bs=3D512 count=3D1 >myboot
edgemaster# cmp myboot boot1
myboot boot1 differ: char 447, line 6
