This really bit me- it shouldn't have- but it did....
I had a i386 system with a 4GB disk -- root partition ~1GB.... but the
motherboard was setting up BIOS as a CHS instead of an LBA arrangement.
The only time this showed up as problem was that when I reinstalled the
loader (and related forth files), loader silently was not able to read /boot
or /modules- the key word here is "silently".
There ought to be a warning in loader(8) maybe about this?
