Hi Bob,

Yeah and hopefully, with a recent post on undeadly, I managed to have an 
USB install media. More easy than going all around the company

hunting for an external USB drive. :)

Regards.

The new installboot was enabled around a month ago.  The issue is only
being talked about now.

Apparently... this dual-boot issue is only seen now, indicating that
these people don't upgrade very often, or participate in the test
cycles leading up to release.


Hi Theo,

In fact I sent an email on bugs@ on 04/02/2014 (subject was installboot 
and ERR M).
First, it was suspected a problem because of using an old bsd.rd 
instead of the one provided with the snapshot.
This is after some tests in the next weeks that I found the culprit 
(openbsd.pbr).  Moreover as boot(8) continued to be changed, I wanted to 
be sure before posting.


Regards.

Jean-Philippe.
