Yes, you are correct sir. Actually, on my system, it's
/gnu/boot/gnumach.gz. When I un- tarred the gnu tarball onto my /gnu
directory from FreeBSD, it created another /gnu directory. I think this
may be causing problems with the boot, because I can get as far as
entering [boot] and it gets all the way to showing my disk partitioning
scheme and then it stops and asks me for my root device. I thought I
had already done that step. I enter the device, and then it says
something like [cannot find /dev/hd0s1/boot/server.boot]. Aaargh!
