I am trying to install FreeBSD 8 on a net5501 with an SATA drive and am having some issues post-install. I am following the document here: http://jdc.parodius.com/freebsd/pxeboot_serial_install_8.html.
The 5501 installs fine, but after the machine reboots after the install, it can't successfully load FreeBSD. Here is what I see: ----- 1 Seconds to automatic boot. Press Ctrl-P for entering Monitor. F1 FreeBSD F6 PXE Boot: F1 No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: No /boot/kernel/kernel ----- I then repeated the installation, but ran the emergency shell before rebooting to see if I could gather any useful information. Here's what I found: ----- # df Filesystem 512-blocks Used Avail Capacity Mounted on /dev/md0 8351 5431 2920 65% / devfs 2 2 0 100% /dev /dev/ad0s1a 925727744 7720152 843949376 1% /mnt devfs 2 2 0 100% /mnt/dev 10.255.255.20:/usr/local/freebsd8 16243556 10371560 4572512 69% /dist # ls -la /boot/kernel/kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 11783145 Jul 18 19:55 /boot/kernel/kernel # cat /boot/loader.conf # -- sysinstall generated deltas -- # console="comconsole" # ls -al /boot/loader -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 262144 Jul 18 19:24 /boot/loader # ls -al /boot/ total 2168 drwxr-xr-x 7 root wheel 1024 Oct 16 11:47 . drwxr-xr-x 19 root wheel 512 Oct 16 11:47 .. -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7647 Jul 18 19:24 beastie.4th -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 8192 Jul 18 19:24 boot -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 boot0 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 boot0sio -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 boot1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7680 Jul 18 19:24 boot2 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 1201 Jul 18 19:24 cdboot drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 defaults -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 878 Jul 18 19:25 device.hints drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:23 firmware -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 2262 Jul 18 19:24 frames.4th -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7535 Jul 18 19:24 gptboot -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 26895 Jul 18 19:24 gptzfsboot drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 31232 Jul 18 19:56 kernel -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 262144 Jul 18 19:24 loader -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 5865 Jul 18 19:24 loader.4th -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 59 Oct 16 11:47 loader.conf -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 15219 Jul 18 19:24 loader.help -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 396 Jul 18 19:24 loader.rc -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 mbr drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:23 modules -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:24 pmbr -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 264192 Jul 18 19:24 pxeboot -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 703 Jul 18 19:24 screen.4th -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 35136 Jul 18 19:24 support.4th drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jul 18 19:23 zfs -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 33280 Jul 18 19:24 zfsboot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 282624 Jul 18 19:24 zfsloader ----- Also, here is the dmesg from the machine when it initially boots before doing the install: ----- Copyright (c) 1992-2010 The FreeBSD Project.
