Hi,
I have got my fingers in a AlphaStation 500 and have installed FreeBSD 4.5.
However I have a small problem when booting the box, take a look on the
following.
-- dmesg start --
da0 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <DEC RZ2CC-KA (C) DEC 5520> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device
da0: Serial Number 194832740074
da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 4091MB (8380080 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 521C)
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual input
mountroot>
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a
da0: invalid primary partition table: no magic
start_init: trying /sbin/init
-- dmesg stop --
At the mountrot> prompt i hit enter for abort, and then the system sends me
to a prompt where I have to choose a shell, hit enter for /bin/sh, and the
CRTL D for abort and then the system boots.
I have searched arount without finding any usefull hints - anybody knows
what to do ?
