>Description:
An installed /usr/mdec/mbr, compiled after recent mbr.S
changes (now mbr.S v1.11), fails to boot further on. It ends
up with an endless displaying of:
NetBSD MBR boot
NetBSD MBR boot
[...]
The other mbr variants (/usr/mdec/mbr_{bootsel,ext}) seem to
work/boot fine, though.
>How-To-Repeat:
Update/install a recent normal boot code on a boot disk (e. g.
fdisk -c /usr/mdec/mbr sd0), (re)boot with it and see it
fail...
>Fix:
Unknown.
