I have a procedure for converting a FreeBSD box to use a mirrored slice for the OS. Everything working fine except that after I've made the conversion I am no longer getting the normal boot menu, the one that counts down 10 seconds waiting for the user to pick on option.
I see a single line showing that the BTX 1.01 loader has been launched, but from there the system simply boots directly with no menu being displayed. I'm obviously missing a step when using gmirror to convert a system over to use mirroring but I'm not sure what. My basic approach is to install the OS onto the first drive, setting it to use the standard boot manager, and then setup the second drive using gmirror and copy the file systems over to the mirror. I then set boot.config to boot off this drive and it comes up fine, there just isn't any boot menu. Any advice on how to solve this would be appreciated. Thanks. _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
