I'm having trouble booting from a SCSI disk into FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE and 4.0-STABLE. The boot gets stuck at "F1 Freebsd" and then doesn't do anything. I've been booting by hand from a 3.3-RELEASE CDROM typing 0:da(0,a)/kernel at the cdrom's boot prompt and this works fine. With linux I had to modify lilo.conf to include the "linear" option (which from the man page generates linear sector address rather than sector/head/cylinder addresses). man loader/boot hasn't helped (me), and I'm not entirely sure which part of the boot process is failing, nor how to remedy the problem. The SCSI adaptor is a Adaptec 2940UW. dmesg says (booting from the cdrom): sa0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 2 lun 0 sa0: <SONY SDT-5200 3.30> Removable Sequential Access SCSI-2 device sa0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) Mounting root from ufs:da0s1a cd0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 cd0: <SONY CD-ROM CDU-76S 1.2d> Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device cd0: 4.901MB/s transfers (4.901MHz, offset 15) cd0: cd present [329606 x 2048 byte records] da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <IBM DDRS-34560D DC1B> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 40.000MB/s transfers (20.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4357MB (8925000 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 4357C) Any pointers would be appreciated.
