Hello, I have a problem with loader. I recently upgraded from 6_rel to 7_rel. Now when I install world there is a problem booting.
Here is what I do: cd /usr/src make buildworld make buildkernel KERNCONF=BLACK make installkernel KERNCONF=BLACK At this point I can reboot and all is good. After boot I install the new world: cd /usr/src mergemaster -p reboot into single user mode cd /usr/src make installworld mergemaster Now when I reboot there is a problem. I get an error that the system cannot boot. Part of it looks like this: Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: If I boot from a live disk and replace /boot/loader with /boot/loader.old it boots up fine and everything looks good. A new world and a new kernel. I would be grateful for any help or any pointers. Sincerely, Kel PS I do not do anything special with my loader config files: $ cat loader.conf snd_ich_load="YES" $ cat loader.rc \ Loader.rc \ $FreeBSD: src/sys/boot/i386/loader/loader.rc,v 1.4 2005/10/30 05:41:42 scottl Exp $ \ \ Includes additional commands include /boot/loader.4th \ Reads and processes loader.conf variables start \ Tests for password -- executes autoboot first if a password was defined check-password \ Load in the boot menu include /boot/beastie.4th \ Start the boot menu beastie-start -- _______________________________________________________ Kelly Black Phone: (518) 388-8727 Department of Mathematics FAX: (603) 388-6005 Union College e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Schenectady NY 12308 (USA) WWW: http://blackk.union.edu/~black _______________________________________________ [email protected] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
