It makes no difference. The kernel loads and runs happily from the old bootloader, but crashes with /boot/loader. (I disabled my gcc-2.8.1, changed make.conf to -O, re-ran config; make depend; make; make install). Something that `fell off' my previous posting (it was implied in the context of my original posting): Both disks have Booteasy installed. wd0 has the old bootblocks (from 2.2.6-RELEASE) and FreeBSD 2.x installed on slice 2. wd2 has the new bootblocks and 3.0-current built from CTM 'cvs-cur 4996' occupying all of slice 1 (which is all of the disk). The boot sequences are: disk0 booteasy offers: W95, FreeBSD, Disk1: - select FreeBSD and 2.x boots successfully - select `disk1' and the disk1 booteasy offers: BSD, disk0 Select BSD and the new /boot/loader comes up. If I let it continue, I wind up with the 3.0 (customised, ELF) kernel booting successfully. If I abort /boot/loader's autostart (giving me a prompt), then (as per Peter Wemm's elfday tutorial) issue the commands: set currdev=disk1s2a load /kernel boot -s the system displays garbage on the screen and doesn't respond to anything gentler than the reset button. If I load the GENERIC 2.2.6-RELEASE kernel, ("load /kernel.GENERIC" above) then it works. Any suggestions as to my next step?
