Hello,
FreeBSD 4.2, PC 512MMB RAM, 2- HD 60 & 40 Mb. System found in indeterminate state, assumed power failure problem. Several reboot and boot attempts failed. Re-installed O/S, system came back up, data intact on 2nd HD but not seen in fstab file, remount etc. OK smooth running, fine Doing a tar xf from a CDROM, system went into a "block size" error, starting a "disc sync" mode followed by a "reboot" condition but never came back up. Seems as if Win start up disk required in floppy drive and FreeBSD distr. Disk 1 reqd. in cdrom for a "boot" Any idea of what could be causing this and possible solution(s) Thanks -- Joe -- To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
