Filesystem stuff:
- it appears that FreeBSD and OpenBSD use the same partition
table format. Is this true? If so, I can potentially avoid

Strangely, it seems that I cannot boot single user, either using "boot -s" from
the boot loader, or using the boot menu. When I get to the point where the
root filesystem is mounted, it hangs right after printing the message:

I have a puzzler.
After postponing an upgrade from 7.2 to 8.0 for some time,
I now am attempting to make the transition.
In the 7.2 install, I have one "dangerously dedicated" disk used
only for backup (the accommodation of which is why I postponed
the install in the first place), as well as a

I regularly use dump(8) with snapshots to back up my server.
While this seems to have been working perfectly well so far,
upon (re)reading the man page for dump(8), I have noticed a
somewhat scary pair of lines in the paragraph describing
the option for -C (emphasis with stars mine):
