I stuffed about booting kernel.GENERIC from the second CD. It has the same problem but tells me it's looking for its root on da0 (where it's not). I managed to get this CD booted by telling it cd9660:cd0a is where it's at but couldn't manage that at the "ok" prompt when booting from the first CD or floppy. I tried set rootdev cd9660:cd0a but that didn't help. Can someone advise as to which srm or loader commands I can use to convince this that it's root device is where it actually is? Ray Newman BTW: The CD is at DKA0, is this confusing it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
