Sure, you can mount the pst devices as soon as the kernel is running,
so you just need to get the thing off the ground (CD, floppy, ZIP,
flash whatever)

Damn, can I put the bootblock on another device ? CD for example.

Promise SX6000 - error 128 lba 0

2003-07-06 Thread Gorm J. Siiger

I have installed FreeBSD 5.1 from CD onto a machine with a Promise SX6000
controller with a RAID5 on 360GB.

The installation went very well, but when the machine start to boot from the
disk, the console shows:

--- START ---
F1   FREEBSD

Default: F1

error 128 lba 0

FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/loader
boot: error 128 lba 0
No /boot/loader
--- STOP ---

>From what I can see the bootdevice is wrong ? shouldn't it be the pst0
device instead of ad(0,a) ?
