Lines: 6 A few days ago I posted that I was unable to boot after minibsd installed itself to disk. It turns out that it wants the partition to be on a cylinder boundary. I was using the first partition. It was offset by one sector, to provide root for the master boot block. This isn't enough. I recreated it starting at the second cylinder, and it worked fine.
