If you update boot2 and it breaks you can't fix that w/o booting off of some

This is where I'm at anyway :)

Oh, I forgot to mention I'm booting with grub (which then hands over
to BTX if I choose my FreeBSD option). I guess I should try getting
rid of that temporarily.

Jeremy, I do have a couple of lines in loader.conf but off hand I
can't remember what precisely. I think it's a DMA hint, and disabling
AGP (a solution I think sos@ came up with for problem I had some time
during 6.2's release cycle). Unfortunately I was busy last night so
couldn't try anything further, but I should be able to tonight and
over the weekend.

Thanks,
James
