The 5.1R install that I just completed twice doesn't boot. The boot loader comes to a prompt for F1 or F2 and hangs. Pressing F1 or F2 results in a beep from the computer. F1 has a base install. F2 is an empty slice that I have set aside.
When using kern.flp to boot the system, interupting the boot process and typing "?" shows that /kernel is not listed. (I have been warned that the hierarchy has changed, but don't see where the kernel might have moved, if at all.) Are the install floppies broken? And also, kern.flp doesn't seem to give a fixit.flp option that the docs say it should. How can I use fixit.flp in 5.1R? I would use fixit.flp to repair my semi-complete install if I could get it to work. Also, what is the proper forum for this question? I am a bit confused as to whether I should be posting to -current, since this is being called a release. BTW, it's a testament to FreeBSD that I haven't had to bother you guys for about two years!
