/boot/loader bug?

[Mike Meyer]

As reported here (I hope - the moderator got the message) and in
-questions, I have a motherboard that installs just fine, but gets a
"Can't work out which disk we are booting fromm" message when the
installed os boots.

Hacking boot/i386/loader/main.c to wire the proper values into
new_currdev fixed the problem. At this point, I'm considering filing a
bug report - but I'm not sure where the bug is.

Is this a /boot/loader bug, and it should have known what was going
on? Is this a BIOS bug, in that it reported the wrong thing to
/boot/loader? Is it a bug in one of the earlier boot stages?

Anyone got any opinions on this? Any suggestions for things to look at
to determine what component is actually buggy?

	Thanks,
