I see a similar problem on an old macppc (dmesg below). In my case, the error message is boot.conf: line too long while there is no boot.conf > Using 'set' and 'help' doesn't yield any useful info > to find the boot.conf file. That should be /etc/boot.conf. I guess there is one on the install media - what dfoes it say? > ls gives hd0a Invalid Argument > ls hd0a gives hd0a:hd0a Invalid Argument I am able to boot with > boot hd:/bsd but I only have one disk in.

As opposed to trying to boot the already installed system. > Is this install doomed to fail or am I missing some secret info that > rummaging through the boot(8) > boot_config(8) and boot_configamd64(8) man pages has failed to find? Also, are you sure it's an amd64 machine? (Not related to the boot problem I guess.)
