I installed 4-Stable from the 7/6 snapshot onto some shiny new machines, and when I reboot them I get an error that says something to the effect of: (0x700):LBA No /boot/loader then the boot: prompt comes up a couple of times, it finds the kerrnel and boots anyway. I found this odd because there clearly IS a /boot/loader, and I haven't changed anything in /boot at all. I did a make world today and installed a custom kernel, no joy. I'm also getting the dreaded top: nlist failed error. I have the following for adapters: ahc0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem 0xf4100000-0xf4100fff irq 19 at d evice 12.0 on pci0 ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs ahc1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0x2400-0x24ff mem 0xf4101000-0xf4101fff irq 19 at d evice 12.1 on pci0 ahc1: aic7896/97 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs and this for disks: da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <QUANTUM ATLAS_V__9_SCA 0200> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 8755MB (17930694 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1116C) da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0 da1: <QUANTUM ATLAS_V__9_SCA 0200> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da1: 8755MB (17930694 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1116C) I did the install with dangerously dedicated disks, which I know John is not a big fan of, but on the IBM SCSI drives I have in the other machines I have no problems of this sort whatsoever. I suppose I could try the install again with a real partition table, I just hate to waste all that config time. :-/ Any help appreciated.
