Re: still upgrading from 2.0 to 7.0

[steve%prd.co.uk@localhost (Steve Blinkhorn)]

If I replace the old copy oof boot with the one that comes from 7.0
then an attempt is made to boot from a dvice called ld0 - which I never
kne was there, which fails with a message about RAID, the master boot
record and the  size of the partition.   I'm wholly out of my depth
here.   All I need is for the system to boot non-interactively from
wd0 with root on wd0a, swap on wd0b and init from /sbin/init.   Always
happened automatically for me before.
