I have confirmed that fdisk under sysinstall(8) writes a boot block that will work for booting from slices that begin past cylinder 1023. boot0cfg(8) and fdisk(8) write an MBR that is unable to boot from a slice that starts above 1023. Is this documented anywhere and is there any plan to update the normal commands to work properly for this case? Thanks, R. Kevin Oberman, Network Engineer Energy Sciences Network (ESnet) Ernest O.
