Hi, I've just settled down and finally happy with my FreeBSD machine. Got everything working the way I want it now, and has been up for 23 days without any problems. Today I had to move the server, so shut down the server, unplugged it and took it back home with me. When I got home and plugged it back in, I presumed it would just boot up fine and everything would be good to go again.... not so. It appears to hang on the initialization parts, when rc files are loading/configuring the system - stops on: Local package initialization: <cursor here> and thats it. Being new to FreeBSD, I'm not sure how to find out what has gone wrong. The situation here is that I am not at home at the moment, so I have no access to any bootdisks or CDroms. Does anyone know what might have caused this? The only difference in setup is that the network cable to my windows machine is no longer present (NIC card still there). I'm running FreeBSD3.4-STABLE, having installed a quite a few programs over the 23 days uptime, but all seem to have installed and working fine. Oh, and i've left it in that state now for 10 minutes before presuming something is wrong and emailing the list - will post again if it decides to boot up eventually :-) Can anyone help me out here and suggest a plan of action? Thanks for any help, Andy. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
