- Yesterday something strange happened. I changed by bootdisk and
- then tried to boot from it. Result: GURU! I discovered that the system
- thought the disk is a FFS disk and not an OFS (it was really an OFS).
- So all data sectors were treated as FFS data sectors (512 bytes instead of
- 488). This means garbage in the files. But the system should give a message
- like "not an object/executable file" instead of GURUing. Strange... Any
- explanations?
