Hi,
I donwloaded 4.6.1-rc2.ISO and tried to install it on machine with Solaris 8.
Instalation went perfect, except that after booting FreeBSD boot-manager
allows only to boot from Solaris x86 partition (1st partition). I can start
FreeBSD from /dev/ad0s3a when boot from installation CDROM, but not from hard
disk. Even on hand I've started
boot0cfg -B -m 0xf -s 3 ad0
and
disklabel -w -B /dev/ad0s3
but the effect were the same. Only the default slice moved from 1 to 3
(prompt: Default: F3).
Did someone achieve similar problem and had it find some workaround.
Here is the output of fdisk on this 10G hard disk.
bsd# fdisk /dev/ad0
******* Working on device /dev/ad0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1247 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Figures below won't work with BIOS for partitions not in cyl 1
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1247 heads=255 sectors/track=63 (16065 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
