Hi, I've been asked to evaluate an HP Netserver LC3 by my company, and I want to put FreeBSD on it. I can install it fine off of the floppies, but when I reboot, I get "Read error" on the screen - not even the bit where you can choose a kernel. I'm guessing this is something to do with the boot loader not being installed properly. The drive it's using is a 9Gb SCSI supplied by HP, and it's hot-swappable, ie I'm supposed to be able to take it out and replace it whenever I like and the machine won't fail. There's only one drive in there at the moment. When installing, it gets recognised as da0. Am I doing something wrong? I've been trying to get round this for ages, and I can't find anything online about it (maybe I'm looking in the wrong places?). Does anyone have any experience with this, or can anyone tell me what to do? Am I just missing something obvious? Do I need to have a fixed drive too boot off? Thanks for your help. -- Peter Lowe System Administrator, Telenor Internet www.ti.cz -- pgl@ti.cz To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
