Fix the vinum auto-start code for root vinums to take the device to read the config from from a kernel environment variable instead of scanning available devices. And then scrap the vinum start junk. I will reenable the write-to-label-area code right now. I'll chalk it up as a win if you can boot from a vinum root with HEAD.
I don't think vinum ever writes to the label area. You are not supposed to start your partition on sector 0. what's wrong with vinum right now? I always had to pass all drives or it wouldn't work. cheers simon -- Serve - BSD +++ RENT this banner advert +++ ASCII Ribbon /"\ Work - Mac +++ space for low €€€ NOW!1 +++ Campaign \ / Party Enjoy Relax | http://dragonflybsd.org Against HTML \ Dude 2c 2 the max ! http://golden-apple.biz Mail + News / \
