Hi
I have just installed ver 2.2.8 FreeBSD (CD) and it would seem that I now have a problem with the boot block(s). I have a small DOS partition and this is what my screen looks like after hitting F2.
Default F2
Cant find file boot.config
>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/7168 k of memory, internal console
Boot default: 0:wd(0,a)kernel
Usage: bios_drive:interface(unit,partition)kernel_name options
bios_drive 0, 1, ...
interface fd, wd or sd
unit 0, 1, ...
partition a, c, ...
kernel_name name of kernel, or ? for list of files in root directory
options -a (ask name) -C (cdrom) -c (userconfig) -D (dual consoles)
-d (debug early) -g (gdb) -h (serial console) -P (probekbd)
-r (default root) -s (single user) -v (verbose)
Examples:
1:sd(0,a)mykernel boot `mykernel' on the first SCSI drive when one IDE
drive is present
1:wd(2,a) boot from the second (secondary master) IDE drive
1:sd(0,a)? list the files in the root directory on the specified
drive/unit/partition, and set the default bios_drive,
interface, unit and partition
-cv boot with the defaults, then run UserConfig to modify
hardware parameters (c), and print verbose messages
boot:
No matter what option I choose I get
Booting 0:wd(0,a)kernel @ 0x100000
text=0x14000 data=...........etc................
Cant find kernel.config
total=........etc...... entry point etc....
copyright(c) etc.....
FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE #0: stuff
jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC
Calibrating clock(s)...i8254clock:1193384HZ
.....other hardware stuff....
FreeBSD Kernel Configuration Utility -Ver 1.1
....stuff.....
config>
I have then gone back into the installation to use Fixit
I get "Couldnt create /temp file"
Unable to symlink /mnt2 to the CDROM mount point. Please report this unexpected failure to freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.ORG.
Can anyone please tell me how I can get out of this situation? Any help at all appreciated.
