 root@rock:/root ls -l /usr/mdec/boot /boot 
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  55308 Jul 10 14:11 /boot
-r--r--r--  1 root  wheel  55308 Jul 12 16:48 /usr/mdec/boot

I copied over the new one from netbsd-3 for grins, trying a boot
with that now.... same problem.

the ffsv1 filesystem in raid0a has an offset of 63;
and the entire rraid0d has an offset of 63. per below, does
this answer your question / look correct?
