Hello all,

I have a question that is probably really silly on my part, but I am
scratching my head, hopefully someone can give me some advice.

I was installing 5.0DP2 onto a 2100 last night, I completed the install, BSD
warned me that if I leave sysinstall that the system will halt, typical so
far, then my server re-booted, I ended up at the P00>>> prompt, then I typed
in 'boot', BSD started to load, then I was greeted with the "boot" prompt. I
typed in boot again, and things went along fine. There were no errors,
messages, warnings, etc. saying that there was a problem, everyting looked
normal.

I first noticed this problem on my AS4000 machine when 5.0DP1 was out, but
since the release of 5.0DP2, that machine is running like a champ. So, I
decided to load a 5305 that I have here with 5.0DP2, and the same thing
happened as on the 2100! Except only this time, when I typed in 'boot' and
enter, it wouldn't boot, it couldn't find the kernel for some reason.

I don't have console output for this problem, my laptop died on me, I am in
the process of getting consoles on these machines in case someone should
need it. But this sounds like a procedural problem on my part.

Anyone have any ideas?
