Hello,

I would like to try a separate /boot slice as permitted by FreeBSD 5.x...

(http://www.khmere.com/freebsd_book/html/ch08.html)

But alas it does not appear to be as simple as simply specifying a /boot during setup. This causes the bootloader to complain about not finding a kernel given that /boot on the root partition is empty. Presumably this is too early in the boot process to link <root>/boot to the /boot slice given that the fstab has not been read yet.

Any pointers on how to get this to work?

Perhaps the boot loader needs to be pointed at the /boot slice rather than root and a "rootdev" variable fed into a specific loader stage? I'm not sure!

Appreciated,

Michael.
