I tried to build an elf-kernel, saved it as kernel.elf, and followed this procedure: | Reboot, and at the boot: prompt type '/boot/loader', then abort the | kernel load and type 'boot kernel.elf'. but the boot-loader couldn't find anything on my hd. I.e. it reports something like "'/': no such file or directory" when typing ls, and it can't find either kernel nor kernel.elf. # dmesg | grep ahc ahc0: rev 0x00 int a irq 19 on pci0.6.0 ahc0: aic7890/91 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 6 lun 0 (da1:ahc0:0:6:0): tagged openings now 63 (da0:ahc0:0:1:0): tagged openings now 63 The FBSD root is located on da1 (da1s3a) When booting, the boot-loader prompt (and hence the environment) reports 'disk2s3a' which I presume is the equivalent of da1s3a. I guess the problem is me trying to boot from da1? -- Andreas Dobloug : email: andreasd@ifi.uio.no To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
