>Description:

	When the system is booted automatically he doesn't read the
kernel.config file build by the previous "boot -c" command, and thus if for
any reason (e.g an powerfail) the system is rebooted automatically he doesn't
"see" the network, because the Ethernet drive is in conflict with other
drives.

	Thank you for understanding and support!

 Funny... I didn't know /kernel.config was being written on
 3.1-RELEASE... Create a file /boot/loader.rc with the following
 lines:
 
 load kernel
 load -t userconfig_script /kernel.config
 
 Have fun! :-)

  Yes - it is being written... 
 
  I suppose the "bug" then is that /boot/loader.rc isn't also written.

Loader got more "manual", but it's not really broken. A better solution 
is in the works.
