Hi all,
First off, I'm new to FreeBSD and this mailinglist so I hope I am in the
right place. Anyways, right now I am having some problems with FreeBSD
booting up. I have tried to install 3 times now and keep getting the
same error. When I try to boot into FreeBSD, this eventually comes up:
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem
<fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> abort manual input
Mountroot>
This seems to be a prompt where I need to specify the location of the
root partition, but the problem here is that it hangs or freezes and I
cannot input any text. At first I thought it may be a result of FreeBSD
not properly recognizing my HDD's geometry but I manually fixed that and
it still is giving me this same issue. If anyone has had a similar
problem or knows how to fix this I would greatly appreciate any help. I
looked through the Handbook and googled this but I haven't found a
solution yet.
