error 1 lba 752976 while booting from USB key to install
Hello, I've some server (a 2 years old HP NAT 1000s storage system) and I want to drop the installed W2k system and re-install it with FreeBSD 7.0R and later use it as a central backup-system with Bacula. The problem is that this server has no CD or DVD device, but can (theoretically) boot from external USB CD/DVD (which I don't have either); so I cam up with the idea to boot from that USB key I have used to install 7.0-REL on that eeePC, i.e. the USB key works fine in any laptop; on the HP NAT 1000s storage system it says: FreBSD/i386 Default: 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel boot: error 1 lba 752976 No /boot/kernel/kernel Any idea about why it does not work?

Strange. The boot0 code should load /boot/loader, not the kernel. (While it is possible to load the kernel directly under certain conditions, AFAIK, it is better to go the "official" way and let the bootloader do its job.) Have you modified the boot sequence on that USB stick in a special way? Please make sure that it contains the proper infrastructure, i.e. a /boot directory with the loader, a kernel subdirectory etc. If it still fails, I suggest you try a more recent version of FreeBSD. I don't know if it's related to your problem, but there has been a significant change in the boot loader code (so-called BTX) that fixes USB-booting on certain machines. You can either csup RELENG_7 and build a fresh /boot directory, or fetch it from the June snapshot. Then replace /boot/loader on your USB stick with the new one, and don't forget to re-install the bootblocks, too (bsdlabel -B). Best regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, secnetix GmbH & Co.

FreeBSD bootcode has to use the BIOS to read disk blocks, since the kernel isn't running yet. -- B.Walter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> http://www.bwct.de Modbus/TCP Ethernet I/O Baugruppen, ARM basierte FreeBSD Rechner uvm. ___ freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-hackers To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

So it's probably the well-known BIOS access problem that was patched in FreeBSD's BTX code after 7.0-RELEASE. I suggest you try RELENG_7 or the June snapshot, as explained in my previous mail.

Because the system BIOS is very likely using some form of ATA emulation to make the USB device available for booting. Many BIOSes let you pick what kind of emulation mode to use, though -- and there are many. USB-FDD, USB-HDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM, USB-KEY, USB-LS120, etc...

Hi [EMAIL PROTECTED] Could a few people please post to list saying they will private mail me (off list) some encrypted binary junk please ?

Examples: dd if=/dev/random of=junk count=2 /boot/kernel/kernel Please also mail output of md5 junk # or kernel I'd like to prove my FreeBSD can receive large encrypted binary from MS, as: I have an MS sender who can't mail me large encrypted binaries, I get gpg: fatal: zlib inflate problem: invalid code lengths set secmem usage: 2048/4000 bytes in 4/9 blocks of pool 5120/32768 I'm receiving Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit I suspect it's not his Microsoft as such failing to send, but likely his MS mailer &/or corporate defaults or gateway failing to ascii armour & encrypt in right order.

I haven't written any documentation yet, so gpart(8) is probably the best place to start. Is it ok to just use gpart(8) instead of using the geom_part API? Using gpart(8) works just fine, except that you don't have access to all the information that's in the XML. Things like geometry come to mind.
