Yeah, but that's not the only thing you have to do. You have to do
MAKEDEV in the /dev directory and set up the network, rc.conf, and
probably some other stuff. I think this "manual" install process is
documented somewhere. If it isn't, it's basically the same thing that
I have to do when netbooting the dreamcast, so there's probably info
over there on how to set up the filesystem.

You said in another mail that you might try just putting a new kernel
on your current disk to boot the 2700 off of.

If the secondary bootloader works for the 2700, then that shouldn't be
a problem. The kernel size limit problem shouldn't be a problem
anymore. That was solved when the secondary bootloader was fixed to
run on these, they don't have any kernel size limit problems.
