I just had a problem trying to install the latest -current snapshot from the 8/26 snap. Background: Windows trashed my hard disk on one of my machines, so I had to do clean install. Since I run -current on that machine anyways, I decided to try the latest snapshot to restore it. Booting kern.flp (i386) gives me (pardon any typos, I'm looking at one screen and typing on the other): FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (root@usw2.freebsd.org, Sat Aug 26 11:14:35 GMT 2000) /kernel text=0x2432ca zf_read: fill error elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed / Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel]... /kernel text=0x2432ca zf_read: fill error elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' Type '?' for a list of commands..... ok ls ----- [ the ls was typed by me ] ------ / d boot kernel.gz ok boot kernel.gz don't know how to load module '/kernel.gz' This isn't a show stopper for me, since I can restore the machine via other methods, but since I haven't done a clean FreeBSD install in a while, I thought I would try our latest & greatest to see how it worked. As you can see, it didn't go very well :-(. -Mike -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com ----- End of forwarded message from Mike Pritchard ----- -- Mike Pritchard mpp@FreeBSD.org or mpp@mppsystems.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
