It seems like this thread isn't getting updated when I
post for some reason. This will be the last one I try
until I figure out what's wrong.
#I've done some more tests. In my last post I had
booted
# from the usb key. the results of lsdev from the
boot #loader prompt were:
OK lsdev
cd devices:
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS drive C:
disk1: BIOS drive D:
disk1s1a: FFS
disk1s1b: swap
disk1s1d: FFS
# If I booted from the hard drive first I got:
cd devices:
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS Drive C:
disk0s1a: FFS
disk0s1b: swap
disk1s1d: FFS
disk1L BIOS Drive D:
#So it's clear that which ever drive is booted from
#first between the hard drive and the usb key drive is
#going to show up as "disk0: BIOS Drive C," but I was
#wondering why the disk slices/partition letters for
#the USB key don't #show up when I boot from it. Or
#even when I boot from the HD and use the loader
#prompt?
# Again just to quickly restate the problem, when
# booting from the USB key, the BTX loader hangs, and
# after about 5 minutes I get the loader prompt. The
# loader apparently can't find the kernel. When
#booting normally I have double checked that the
#bsdlabels, filesystems, and required files are at
#least present on the key.
# I'll keep learning the intimate details of various
#config files, and loader commands, and post back if I
#find a solution. Thanks again for any bits of know
#how you send my way.
-Fred
