System: NetBSD rumolt.teuto.de 1.4X NetBSD 1.4X (RUMOLT) #0: Sun Apr 30 19:15:21 MEST 2000 martin@rumolt.teuto.de:/usr/src/sys-i4b/arch/i386/compile/RUMOLT i386


>Description:

Installing bootblocks from -current as of today prohibits booting from
hard disk (wd0a in my case).

The last known working bootblocks are from a snapshot by tron late in March
this year.

>How-To-Repeat:

shutdown now
cd /usr/mdec
./installboot -v -f biosboot.sym /dev/rwd0a
reboot, be hosed

>Fix:
n/a

(If you don't count creating bootblocks on your friendly 1.4.2 system
as a solution)
