   The kernel was using a fixed and hard-coded location for the arguments
   vector passed from the <strong>/boot</strong> loader.  This prevented
   </strong>/boot</strong> from placing the boot arguments vector at any
   other location, causing a kernel crash early in the autoconfiguration
   stage.  In 2.5, the bootblocks will be modified to use a new location.
   Hence, if you wish old kernels to boot on a new bootblock, those
   kernels will only work if they were linked with this patch.
   <a href=ftp://ftp.openbsd.org/pub/OpenBSD/patches/2.4/i386/bootargv.patch>
   A source code patch exists which remedies this problem.</a><br>
