Is there > somewhere I can get an image from to boot with these parameters? Btw., it should read ``1:sd(0,a)/kernel''. Anyway, go to /sys/i386/boot/biosboot, and edit the Makefile.

After making and installing the new bootblocks, get them in effect with disklabel -B sd0 You probably also need a boot manager. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
