Hello,
Does anyone know of any documentation, or howto's on configuring
bootblocks. I have two hard drives in my tower and have DragonFly on
one. I want to install debian on the second. I am familiar with GRUB but
cannot find anything when I google Bootblocks.
Any pointers would be

Hi Max.
Regarding the issues of production servers. I would like to point out
that as a relative *nix newbie I chose Dragonfly because it was new.

Vis-a-vie network performance, my goal for DragonFly is to have 'good'
performance. But I think it is a complete waste of time to try to
squeeze every last erg out of the network subsystem like FreeBSD has.

It's irrelevant. You can hardly expect a small project like ours to
cover all the bases. Those linux installers have large groups of
people DEDICATED to just working on the installer. Short of us dropping
everything and putting all our resources for the next year into the
The KISS method is something rarely followed these days.
One of the reasons why I liked FreeBSD's sysinstall is that it is
simple, I rarely use all of its features. Just Custom - Minimal -
Partition - Commit - and Reboot!
The install takes about 3 minutes! I can rollout 20 FreeBSD systems in
These comments are really unfair.
You have to consider that people who work on projects like DFly or
FreeBSD - they dont have access to every single motherboard every made.
And the Bios quirks can be like fixing leaky pipes. You fix a leak in
one spot, and it causes a new leak somewhere else.

I believe that for the near and probably long future, DragonFly will stay
with pkgsrc.
pkgsrc has over 20 developers who actively help support it (beyond
NetBSD). It has
