In looking at your previous posts, I noticed you were doing: > axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 da1c > axp33# disklabel -B -b /boot/boot1 /dev/rda1c and some other 'stuff' ....and stated: > For the rest everything works just fine using the NetBSD boot-bits. ? - When you attempted your new install, did you clean all of the NetBSD 'stuff' off your disks? ? - What does your fstab say in /etc? I get the impression you are trying to disklabel the 2nd scsi disk and it has no partition table. ? - Have you tried: disklabel -B -b /usr/mdec/boot1 /dev/da0c on your 1st scsi disk? > cd0: Attempt to query device size failed: NOT READY, [snip] (smile) As you probably know, the above line is saying there is no disk in the cdrom. hope some of this helps, if not, email me, -- curtis - ufkartfm@pacific.net - site administrator for Nobody I want Nobody to control my life!
