I have it dualbooting, with the FreeBSD boot manager, NT 4 is installed in a partition that takes up the first 500Mb of the disk and this boots fine.... I'm now trying to install FreeBSD in a partition that takes up the rest of the disk - a 1.6Gb disk. When I choose "F2 - FreeBSD" from the bootmanager, it boots the kernel fine, going through initialising the devices etc... then the last screen I can see has thing like the following: find: not found date: not found uname: not found cp /etc/motd - not found can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv0 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv1 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv2 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv3 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv4 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv5 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv6 can't exec getty - /usr/libexec/getty for /dev/ttyv7 so I'm wondering what's going on! I tried to have only one FreeBSD slice within it's 'dos partition'. Perhaps I have to have a separate /usr partition? Perhaps some of these executables have to be in the first 500Mb of the disk... any help would be greatly appreciated.. once again, this is what happens straight after the install, on the first boot, and there appears no getting around it but to try and reinstall again which doesn't work either... perhaps I should boot up of a rescue floppy and try and work out what's going wrong that way? cheers jesse -- -- Jesse Reynolds - Virtual Artists Pty Ltd - http://www.va.com.au Email: jesse (at) va.com.au - http://virtual.artists To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-mobile" in the body of the message
