My setup works for booting 4.x perfectly. If I replace the the 5.0 image with a 4.7 diskless image, it works fine. The 5.0 kernel crashes without printing a single char to the console. But my NFS traces shows that the last file loaded via NFS before the crash was lib.c.so.5. Other files include: sshd_config, inetd.conf, rc.d/*, and the list goes very long.. This strongly suggests that it has already booted successfully, but kernel printf has problems. Has anyone had similar problems? diskless or not. Thanks, Dong Lin ----- diff between my disk and diskless configs: 68a69,76 > # Kernel BOOTP support > > options BOOTP # Use BOOTP to obtain IP address/hostname > # Requires NFSCLIENT and NFS_ROOT > options BOOTP_NFSROOT # NFS mount root filesystem using BOOTP info > options BOOTP_NFSV3 # Use NFS v3 to NFS mount root > options BOOTP_COMPAT # Workaround for broken bootp daemons. > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
