Fellow FreeBSDians,
I am experiencing a problem with my FreeBSD server box. I can't get the
system up. when I boot the machine its boots asking for boot options, and going
with the default boot option
This is an old freeBSD server box with FreeBSD-6.1
then its reaching mount root>
after that nothing, its stuck on this prompt mount root>
mount root>
I didn't do anything, day before yesterday its working..
Yesterday when I tried to login from my desktop , it not allowing me to login
through my ssh keys
so I checked physically the server and connected a monitor, seeing the
boot splash image is garbled with some alphabetic characters.. and tried to
reboot, hardware reboot.
But it reaching the boot splash image of FreeBSD with boot options
displayed, but what ever boot option I select , it not going further, but
reboots again to the boot splash image screen.
Today morning I just took its hard disk and connected to another box having
same specs
Then I started the box, with the harddisk of my server ..., then it going
after the boot, so I thought issues over...
But my bad, this time it comes to a prompt mount root > and stuck there..
No key board inputs works in mount root> prompt
Any hints to recover this issue, most appreciated, and this is a production
server , and I want it up as early as possible.
Thanks in Advance
Dhanesh
