Ethernet adapters ed1 5 0x300 Parallel Printer Port lpt0 7 8250/16450/16550 Serial port sio0 4 0x3f8 8250/16450/16550 Serial port sio1 3 0x2f8 Syscons console driver sc0 1 0x60 A NCR/Symbios 53C810 SCSI controller is autoconfigured on the PCI bus. The SCSI-CD-ROM works without a hiccup. No other devices are configured into the GENERIC kernel. Saved the kernel config, then proceeded with installation. 3) Select <3 keymap> from the main installation menu 3.1) Switched to german CP850 keymap - it's the keyboard I'm sitting at. 4) Select <4 Options> from the mein installation menu 4.1) Set installation media type to CDROM 5) Select <5 Novice> installation 6) selected [ ] wd0 wd0 [*] wd2 wd2 (the new disk) as destination. 7) Dedicated the whole new disk to FreeBSD typing "A" but 8) Did not sacrifice he true partition entry by answering "no" to the following question. (Remember, BootEasy is already located on wd0 form 2.1.5) 9) Created the neccessary partitions using the auto option, resulting in wd2s1a / 32MB UFS Y wd2s1b swap 73MB SWAP wd2s1e /var 30MB UFS Y wd2s1f /usr 1878MB UFS Y 10)Selected the X-User distribution set 10.1) Added all but the PC98 X servers 11)Did _not_ install the DES crypto libs 12)Answered YES, thus installed the ports collection 13)Finally, I commited the installation selections by pressing "yes" in the final warning screen. ===== On tty2, there was a warning: -- Warning: 3936 sector in last cylinder unallocated Why? ===== After a long wait and a lot of lines about the files currently installed, another warning is issued: WARNING: local host name () is not qualified; fix $j in config file What's this about? ===== Some missing directies are created then (/games, /obj,...) On tty1, the "Congratulations..." screen waits. Proceeding to network configuration: Selecting ed1 (WD/SMC 80xx; Novell NE1000/2000;... Defined host, domain, gateway, name server, IP addr, netmask, no extra options. (Yes, the values are checked and double-checked, and run without any hiccup on the 2.1.5 system) Anserwed NO to bring ed1 up now, since no network is available at this moment. IP gateway switched off. No anonymous ftp connections -- it's a standalone config. No NFS server nor client. Console settings: Font: IBM 850 Keymap: German CP850 Repeat: Default Saver: Daemon Screenmap: none Time Zone: CEST (Central European Summer Time) Clock is NOT set to UTC Serial mouse on Com1 X Server Config: xf86Setup displays the following error messages on tty2: _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 2 (8 times, then:) _X11TransSocketUNIXConnect: Can't connect: errno = 61 Did NOT browse the ports collection. Added a 'luser' groupe and a new user account for me. Set the root passwd Registered, but did not send the registration, since the machine is offline. Did not visit the general configuration menu again, then exited the installation. ===== The system rebooted. BootEasy showed F5 to switch to the second IDE master. The system switched to the second IDE disk. Now the relevant boot messages: (sorry, I could not figure out how to scroll back to top of screen) ... fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in wdc0 at 0x1f0-0x1f7 irq 14 on isa wdc0: unit 0 (wd0): wd0: 612MB (1253952 sectors), 1244 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S wdc1 at 0x170-0x177 irq 15 on isa wdc1: unit 0 (wd2): wd2: 2014MB (4124736 sectors), 4092 cyls, 16 heads, 63 S/T, 512 B/S npx0 flags 0x1 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface changing root device to wd1a <===== WHY? Isn't wd2 correct? ======== panic: cannot mount root <===== OOOOOOPS! ====================== syncing disks... done ------------------ So what's causing my problem? Any hints welcome. One additional problem: the machine is offline and must remain offline, thus internet is NOT reachable -- everything must down via floppy or CD-ROM.
