- If the original poster was asking about the 2090A, then your info is correct.
- If he was referring to the 2090 (with out the A), then...

- The 2090 does not Auto-boot. You MUST have the first partition under OFS,
- but the other partitions can be FFS under 1.3/2.0. (Not sure if 1.2 even had
- FFS).
