| | ===== FreeBSD boot loader bug ===== |
| | |
| | I've been seeing this message for quite some time: |
| | |
| | > BOOT LOADER IS TOO OLD. PLEASE UPGRADE. |

So I searched a bit, eventually finding [[https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=282001|bug #282001: Inappropriate "BOOT LOADER IS TOO OLD" / missing initialization of bootprog_rev in lutils.c]]. It was interesting to observe the decision-making process. |
