Re: Abit KN9 + FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE

*Puts on dunce cap*

When I turned on the onboard RAID, and created the RAID arrays, the BIOS 
decided Well you simply must want to boot off the RAID, right? So, 
that being fixed, I popped in the amd64 distro and proceeded to do the 
install.


System is installed, up and running.. I couldn't believe how fast the
amd64 branch installed off the CD (about 7 minutes)!

Now to get used to the new /etc/rc.d scheme.. :) (I'm
coming from 4.11-RELEASE--luckily I enjoy learning new things,
especially when they make life easier!)

Thanks, dev team! :) You rock!

Best,

Abit KN9 + FreeBSD 6.2-RELEASE

2007-04-03 Thread Glenn Sieb

Hey everyone..

I bought an Abit KN9, with a 200MB Maxtor IDE drive on the main IDE0 
channel. I also have RAID set up on the SATA devices.


I'm trying to install 6.2-RELEASE on the system, and it installs, I 
created the partitions and sliced them appropriately (/, swap, /tmp, 
/var, /usr). If I go into the EHS, I see /boot/kernel/kernel exists. 
When I reboot after the install, I get an error saying 
0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel does not exist.


The system sees the drive as ad0, the slice as ad0s1.

I've installed this with the boot manager on ad0, as well as no boot 
manager. Same results.


What on Earth am I doing wrong here? :-/

Thanks in advance!
Best,
--Glenn

I forgot to mention (dang) that this was the amd64 version of FreeBSD. 
Tonight I'll give the i386 version a shot and see if there's a difference.


Thanks in advance!
