Again, thank you, everyone. Nice commands to know: objformat and file. New bootblock went in on the first try. Actually *everything* worked on the first try (installing 3.0 from cd, CVSUPing to stable, make buildworld, make installworld, custom kernel, new bootblocks), without errors! Everyone on the FreeBSD team should be congratulated for a job *very* well done. One day I hope to be able to give back what I have been given.
