Hi, I reinstalled an old i386 hardware server with 7.1 a couple of weeks ago. Still going strong with a 19 year old Quantum Fireball SE4.3A HD.
The system installed as an old MBR (+63 sector) system. It did not add any dk stuff for /etc/fstab. It did NOT leave room to add the dk stuff at the start of the hard drive, so you cannot do "dkscan_bsdlabel" stuff on it and add bootloaders. -current does not have lots of the DKWEDGE_METHOD_* stuff in it so you cannot boot a new kernel on it. Where is the philosophy of least-surprise going with this? Hopefully we can have more DKWEDGE_METHOD* compatibility shivs in, given we also compile with things like COMPAT_* for whatever old binaries lie around. Regards, Geoff
