That went fine. Initialized...Fine... Boot FreeBSD.. Fine....Partition (Auto).... Fine.... newfs..... Not so good. It failed. The debug shows : Warning: Block size restricts cylinders per group to 94. /dev/mlxd0a: 262144 sectors in 64 cylinders of 1 tracks, 4096 128.0MB in 1 cyl group (94 c/g, 188.00MB/g, 16256 i/g) super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at: mlx0: controller wedged (not taking commands) mlx0: controller wedged (not taking commands) mlxd0: drive offline write error: 1408 newfs: wtfs - writecombine: Input/output error The Message box shows "Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/mlxd0a!

Forgive me if I am wrong, but doesn't the AS 1000 4/266 only support 1 processor anyway? Quick check with Google seems to indicate it doesn't support more than 1 CPU. Dan > How do I get SMP running?

Unable to make new root filesystem on /dev/mlxd0a. Command returned status 36. On the VTY1, I get this messages: DEBUG: Scaning disk mlxd0 for root filesystem DEBUG: Scaning disk mlxd0 for swap partitions ... newfs: wtfs: 2048 bytes at sector 0: Operation not permited The Mylex controller has the 2.73 firmware and I have 5 x 9Gb on RAID- 5 and 1 x 9Gb as a spare disk. Any help on this? One other question: On the hardware notes for this release, it says that it's not possible to boot from Mylex controllers due to SRM limitations but there are two Linux distributions that boot from the Mylex on SRM with no problem. This is a limitation for the FreeBSD code? Thanks everybody. Alessandro.

I'm hoping that someone here is willing to do this. The amd64 pmap is similar enough that essentially duplicating revisions 1.438 through 1.440 should do the trick.
