I have tried to install 3.1 on two machines but on both of them I was not able to boot it after installation. The 3.0-snapshot from May-98 worked fine on both of them. But 3.1 did not boot. First, the MBR boot manager was not able to boot any partition, nor FreeBSD nor UnixWare. After I replaced it with boot manager from 3.0 it worked but then some later stage of the boot was not able to find the kernel. Both machines have Phoenix BIOS (one is Intel, another Unisys). One has IDE disk, another has SCSI. I'm about to look at the problem but want to make sure first that it's not a known bug that was fixed long ago (sorry, I have not tracked -hackers for about half a year). Any information will be appreciated. -SB To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
