Hi!

I just tried to install a complete new harddisk with my sparcbook and
used ufs2 for formatting the partitions (newfs -O 2 sd0a). After
installing userland the bootloader is not able to read the kernel!?

Should the (secondary) bootloader be able to read the kernel from a
ufs2 partition?

Thanks, Markus.
