Hi gang, I've been considering starting a small ISP. I planned to use FreeBSD for the servers, since I can't afford Sun Enterprise servers. :o) I would like to play around with the OS a bit, but I can't get it to boot. It appears to install fine, but after exiting the config tool at the end of the install, it reboots and then fails with: loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /kernel text=0x26e45f - elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed Unable to load kernel: Aborted! Anyone else seeing this problem. Please let me know how you fixed it, if so. I suppose I am possibly misconfiguring something during the install process, but the install does appear to occur, the system just doesn't boot. Why do ISP's use FreeBSD over, say, RedHat Linux? Is FreeBSD widely used in the ISP space? thanks, kev To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
