Well, in the continuing saga of my first Unix/FreeBSD setup, I found the
problem with
invalid argument (22)
It turns out that to load from a DOS partition, it must be a PRIMARY DOS
partition. Extended DOS Partitions won't mount.
Now I have everything loaded and got the congratulations (spelled
congradulations on the screen) window. I answered, said and did what I
needed to do to get through the post-install prompts, not really adding
anything. I added a boot manager, because the default one wouldn't come
up. Running bootinst from the tools directory gave me a working ability to
boot off the second drive.
Now it loads all the way to the end, then says
panic: can't mount root
rebooting in 15 seconds
and I get an endless loop of reboots.
ALT-F2 doesn't appear to work here, and neither does scroll lock, so I
can't see what's wrong. Disk one boots up Windows 95 just fine (evidenced
by the fact I'm writing this).
How should I proceed (help PuhLeease! I'm running out of hair to putt out
:->)
If God's your co-pilot, switch seats!
