[M3devel] help booting CM3 on FreeBSD 4.11?

[Mika Nystrom]

By the way, I take it booting the compiler "old-fashionedly" with

I have a very well-working PM3... reason it's taken me so long to
get around to really pushing on updating to CM3...

But let me fiddle around for a bit and see if I need you again.
