Please rebuild with the system compiler and -O at most. We're
hard-pressed enough as it is to support our own software without
introducing complete unknowns into the equation.

It was wd0 (the generic). Making it wd2 didn't help.

FWIW, I've done it under 2.2.7 by
1) installing booteasy on both wd0 *AND* wd2
2) altering the boot.config to
1:wd(2,a)kernel

I have been experimenting with moving a 2.2.6-RELEASE system to 3.0
(-current for now, but probably moving towards -stable). Not wanting
to totally trash my current system until I have the new one working,
I've been building 3.0 on a second disk [mounted as /3.0 on my 2.x
system].
I'm using CTM '
