Your system is probably dying a horrible death and not producing any video output. > ad0: 9671MB [19650/16/63] at ata0-master using UDMA33 > ad1: 42934MB [87233/16/63] at ata0-slave using UDMA33 > acd0: CD-RW at ata1-master using WDMA2 > acd1: CDROM at ata1-slave using PIO3 > Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a > WARNING: / was not properly dismounted Well, it's not a good idea to put both disks on the same controller anyway. What happens if you put the disks on the primaries of each controller, and the CD-ROMS on the secondaries? If that doesn't help, does the system at least work without the 45 GB drive? Anyway, how far do you get in the book process? Can you get into single user mode the way you are now? Greg -- When replying to this message, please copy the original recipients.
