Hi,
I just installed FreeBSD 9.0-release / amd64 on a new machine (Acer Aspire
X1470).
I installed from a usb memory stick (the default amd64 image), which I booted
by pressing "F12" and selecting it from the boot menu on the machine.
I installed on a SSD (which replaced the hard drive originally in the machine),
using the default scheme for 9.0 (GPT).
The installation was painless (many thanks to all who made it that way), but
when I try to boot the machine from the SSD afterwards, I just get this message
from the BIOS:
"ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed."
I tried selecting the SSD from the boot menu (via F12) instead (it shows up as
"EFI: M4-CT128M4SSD2"), but got the same message.
I upgraded the BIOS from version P01-A3 to version P01-A4 (the newest
available), still no dice.
If I use the usb stick I installed from, I can select the boot device, and
actually boot from it, so there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with the SSD.
I tried:
kg-vm2# gpart bootcode -b /boot/pmbr -p /boot/gptboot -i 1 ada0
bootcode written to ada0
in case there was something wrong with the bootcode, but I still get the
message "ERROR: No boot disk has been detected or the disk has failed."
gpart shows this:
root@kg-vm2# gpart show ada0
=> 34 250069613 ada0 GPT (119G)
34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64k)
162 119537664 2 freebsd-ufs (57G)
119537826 8388608 3 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
127926434 121634816 4 freebsd-ufs (58G)
249561250 508397 - free - (248M)
and root is on ada0p2, with swap on ada0p3:
root@kg-vm2# df -h
Filesystem Size Used Avail Capacity Mounted on
/dev/ada0p2 56G 2.3G 49G 4% /
devfs 1.0k 1.0k 0B 100% /dev
root@kg-vm2# swapinfo -h
Device 1K-blocks Used Avail Capacity
/dev/ada0p3 4194304 0B 4.0G 0%
Has anyone seen anything like this before?
Any hints on what I can do?
