Basically a vanilla system. I installed FBSD 3.2 from scratch (newfs and everything) but after the the installation, the boot loader says it can't load /kernel. It won't load kernel.GENERIC either. Using the ls command at the boot loader prompt shows everthing OK. I've reinstalled twice, same result. I had similar problems trying to upgrade 3.1->3.2, but a complete install of 3.2 has worked on half-a-dozen other machines. I'm sure it's something obvious, but obviously I don't see what. Any suggestions? thanks dayton -- Dayton Clark CIS Department dayton@brooklyn.cuny.edu Brooklyn College/CUNY 718.951.4811 Brooklyn, New York 11210 718.951.4842 (fax) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
