Please do file a big fat bug. Boot with the 'debug' flag. If you
can, submit /var/log/messages there (with the dbootstrap log) with the
report. If not, then look thru /var/log/messages for clues and
include that musing in the report.

I don't think having /boot in a separate partition is a good idea
ever. Should we deprecate that in the documentation? Or just for
sparc?
William, can you file a diff. bug against the documentation to mention
this issue?

Ah, no, that is i386 BIOS hackery only.
