I Just used the normal freebsd boot0 boot block. It's set to default to one slice or another and part of the install process is to change the default. The much more interesting problem is having the slice that just booted figure out which slice it's on, and then cobble up an /etc/fstab that makes sense. I tried to avoid having the generation process of a new image have to know what slice it was going to be installed on. louie To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-small" in the body of the message
