I decided to move to an ELF kernel today--mistake, as it turns out: I compiled the kernel as ELF and installed as /kernel.elf, then manually did a "/boot/loader" at the boot: prompt, aborted the kernel boot, and typed "boot kernel.elf". That worked perfectly, booting fine with no errors. Then I did the following: "disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 -s /boot/boot2 da0a" (da0a is my / slice). Now my system just reboots when I try to boot FreeBSD.. note: I'm booting from the Windows NT boot manager.. do I need to update the boot sector NT keeps in order for this to work? How can I reverse the disklabel command without being able to boot into FreeBSD? Should I grab a bootdisk? Help!! :) Thanks, Pete Johnson locke@mcs.net ------------------------------------- Peter Johnson ------------------------------------- locke@mcs.net http://locke.home.ml.org PGP Keys available from above address. ------------------------------------- Freelance C/C++/Java/Pascal/Asm programmer for DJGPP, Borland, and Watcom compilers Member of BiLogic demo group -> http://BiLogic.home.ml.org/ ------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
