Hi, I seem to be haivng an odd issue on a couple of my machines here. This occurs with both 5.3-RELEASE and 4.11-RELEASE. Wasnt sure which list to post to, apologies if I chose badly.
I downloaded the boot floppies, but upon putting it in the mahcine the \ symbol swirled maybe once, then a pause and then it came up with two disk error messages and then loader cannot be found. I remembered that this was a 2.88Meg capable system, and when i forced it into 1.44Meg mode in the system configuraiton FreeBSD booted like a charm. I confirmed this phenomenon on another 2.88Meg enable system here also. I must say that these systems are MCA boxes, but I am pretty confident for the boot0 program that should make no difference. I should also say the boot floppy used was a 1.44Meg normal boot floppy that had started many other systems. If this indeed is a little bug, is there anything I can do to help? FreeBSD atleast boots on the mahcine i changed back to 1.44, NetBSD seemed to hang at the point of detecting fdc0 no matter what mode it was. Thanks, Alex J Burke. _______________________________________________ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
