X-Jacob: Hi Jacob! X-Shane: Hi Shane! Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have recently built a new FreeBSD machine. Started out as 4.1 cvsup'ed and updated by the book. Everything went clean, as always. The issue is that once we remove the CD-ROM drive from the machine FreeBSD will not boot. The BTX boot loader just displays a lot of hexidecimal values and sits there. If you put the CD-ROM drive back in, everything is fine and it boots clean. The CD-ROM is sitting on the secondary ide controller as the slave drive. The other disk in the machine is sitting on the primary ide controller as the master drive. The box is currently running 4.3-STABLE cvsup'ed as of 18:00 CST. Please reply to me privately because I am not subscribed to this mailing list. Thank you for any help you may be able to provide. -- Erich Zigler To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
