Sorry for not making this clear enough. As I already wrote in another
mail, the setup is the following:


Headless, 8-CURRENT, boot0sio, COM1 <---> ucom0, tip(1), 7.0, laptop


I have two disks in the 'headless' machine, and I wanted to use the boot
manager (the one with F1-F5) to switch between disks and slices after
each boot.
