/boot/loader bug

[Joerg Anslik <joerg@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hi,

with the latest patch (extended slices) applied to the loader, one of
my machines does not boot any more. I get this message:

------
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xFFFFFFFF not found by probes, defaulting to
disk0:
------

My boot disk, so far, is an S-ATA drive which shows up as master on
IDE channel 2. There's another (pure IDE) disk as master on IDE
channel 0, which just holds backups, but no system at all. I guess the
loader is now trying to boot off this IDE disk and doesn't probe for a
system on the S-ATA drive. I did so, of course, in former
(pre-extended-slice) releases...hmpf!
