I am afraid that I don't understand how this would work. I have a disk partition /dev/ad0s5 on my-ppc machine. It is usually '/' when I boot up. But apparently I can not mount that partition if I have booted up off the miniinst.iso CD. While I have other freebsd machines, they are not PowerPC. I can not nfs-export /dev/ad0s5 to any of those other machines, since I can not mount it on the original machine. I *could* nfs-mount partitions *from* those other machines on my-ppc machine, but what good does that do if I have no access to the hard disk on my-ppc? Even if I had a recovery kernel on some other machine, I seem to have no access to /dev/ad0s5, so I have no way to replace the kernel which isn't working. If I *did* have a way to access (and modify) /dev/ad0s5, then I could just use the kernel.old which is on there. I don't need a kernel from any other machine. [note: this is not a crisis for me. I am just curious what the quickest way out of this would be] -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu From owner-freebsd-ppc@FreeBSD.ORG Sun Apr 17 03:22:03 2005 Return-Path: Delivered-To: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Received: from mx1.FreeBSD.org (mx1.freebsd.org [216.136.204.125]) by hub.freebsd.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id 840E616A4CE for ; Sun, 17 Apr 2005 03:22:03 +0000 (GMT) Received: from liberty.onthenet.com.au (liberty.OntheNet.com.au [203.22.124.10]) by mx1.FreeBSD.org (Postfix) with ESMTP id D89BA43D41 for ; Sun, 17 Apr 2005 03:22:02 +0000 (GMT) (envelope-from grehan@freebsd.org) Received: from [203.13.71.95] (CPE-71-95.dsl.OntheNet.net [203.13.71.95]) j3H3M0nP045853; Sun, 17 Apr 2005 13:22:01 +1000 (EST) (envelope-from grehan@freebsd.org) Message-ID: <4261D672.8070004@freebsd.org> Date: Sun, 17 Apr 2005 13:22:26 +1000 From: Peter Grehan User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; FreeBSD i386; en-US; rv:1.7.2) Gecko/20041016 X-Accept-Language: en-us, en MIME-Version: 1.0 To: Garance A Drosihn References: In-Reply-To: Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit cc: freebsd-ppc@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Latest kernel doesn't work on PPC?

When booting the loader from the OpenFirmware prompt, give it a partition which is either non-existent, doesn't have a kernel to load, or isn't a UFS partition e.g. 0 > boot hd:loader hd:0 ... / can't load kernel Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. OK _ At this point, you can set currdev and manually load a kernel e.g. OK set currdev=hd:14 OK load /boot/kernel/kernel.save and then OK boot later, Peter.
