Hey pal, don't chew me up like that ... I solved the problem myself 
look, I'm not here to bother you guys, I use FreeBSD for years now, and I
always used -RELEASE, bought cds & the rest. I've also built several
ISDN-routers, all FreeBSD-based. I simply LOVE the FreeBSD project, and,
since I have some spare time, I decided to start testing -CURRENT. I also
built& modified many PicoBSD installations on a floppy for custom purposes.

Even if I am "green" to many subjects, it doesn't mean I am a complete
idiot. I can learn, damnit, but I have to start with something.

Geez

You should have build and installed a new kernel at the same time.

Try 'boot /kernel'.

Need help to boot (was : -current hangs during boot)

2000-10-30 Thread Vittorio Mori

Hello FreeBSD-hackers.

I had my first CVSup-ed source tre d/loaded today. It compiled correctly
(make buildworld) and installed correctly (make installworld).

But on rebooting the box, the loader fails to find a bootable kernel. It
seems my loader.conf got trashed somewhere ... I get the list of the /
partition, but the command

load kernel

gives me the "not found" message.

I'm totally green on the subject, please, give me a bit of advice on how can
I make the box boot again (or if you have some pointers to web resources,
man pages etc.), and where I messed up the whole thing.

Thanks guys!

  Bye,
Wyk'00
