Hi Thor,
around the end of September I locally pulled up jdc's changes from June 20
to the netbsd-3 branch and tested extensively. I've booted FFSv1, FFSv2
and LFSv2 root file systems from FS_RAID partitions.
So, how does that jive with you being unable to boot LFSv2 root with the
same codebase?
BTW, I did notice that an FFSv1 boot loader "understands" enough of an LFSv2
file system to find the second stage, but craps out soon after.
