Description haikugeek 2001-11-30 06:30:00 UTC

	The third stage boot loader (/boot/loader) can currently only read to
	files on a UFS partition. This does not allow functionality of things
	like nextboot(8), or scripts that update configuration information before
	booting.

Fix: Apply this patch :

	(also at http://www.haikugeek.com/freebsd/5.0-boot-libstand.diff)
How-To-Repeat: 	Start /boot/loader, interrupt the autoboot sequence, and just try to
	write a script that writes to the disk. Ha! You can't can you?

Mike is interested in this, plus he has the loader expertise to make sure 
this change is integrated smoothly.  Plus... he asked for it. :)
