Hi!

... after recent mbr.S (now v1.11) changes:

I've just updated (fdisk -c /usr/mdec/mbr sd0) this normal mbr on
several boot disks. Result during booting is now an endless loop of
displaying:

  NetBSD MBR boot
  NetBSD MBR boot
  [...]

Anybody else sees this?

The other mbr_{bootsel,ext} seem to work fine.

BTW: What should be displayed with the latter mbr's if partition's
boot menu name entries are empty? Just the number's? At the moment
none is displayed for these empty entries.

Markus.
