Don't know if I should post here but....
I just installed 4.2-RELEASE onto a ppro 200 (had linux) the install
went without a hich. Then when I rebooted, the box just stopped. It
seemed like it could not read the mbr. So I booted again off the
floppies and I used the loader to switched the currdev to the harddrive
(disk1s1a) it found the hardrive. I then loaded the kernel from the
harddrive and booted off the harddrive. After I was up on the box I then
ran disklabel -B ad0 and thought that maybe the installation did not add
the boot reccord info. Rebooted agian to have the same problem as
before. I then tried it agian with the flags for the boot code, no
luck. Finally I dd out the first 512 blocks of the harddrive and ran
strings on it. Seems that thier was nothing their ! so I was lucky
enough to have another 4.2 box and I just copied its first 512 blocks.
Now it boots fine !
Is their a known issue with this ? or maybe I did something wrong ?
thank you
