:However so far nobody had problems since we fixed the last bugs. I
:absolutely agree that we should have the boot code reading the UNDO, and
:also multi-volume HAMMER file systems will not work with the boot loader
:(will never). However I think for a simple setup, having just one
:HAMMER file system should be supported and perfectly fine.
:
:But then, maybe I'm too much an HAMMER enthusiast, and we should go the
:Linux route and always install a (UFS) /boot. Then it is also easier to
:run more complex setups, like vinum, ccd, etc.

I'm also a bit worried about BIOS addressability with large disks.
If someone installs a terrabyte disk with HAMMER on it, hammerread
might have to access very high numbered sectors. I don't trust the
BIOS to properly use 48-bit sector addressing.
