It seems fine until it asks for the mfs_root disk. I just press enter (because boot.flp is both, right?) and then it says "load: can't find "/mfsroot" and then gives the press any key in 5 seconds, or enter to boot [kernel]. I can press enter and it goes fine, until it's loading the ethernet drivers. Then it gives me a freaky kernel panic. Is this because it can't find /mfsroot? I "pressed any key" and got the boot prompt, and looked at what was on the disk, and mfsroot wasn't there.. i assume that's because it's all in kernel.gz am i right? what can i do to fix this? should i redownload the boot.flp? -Jesse To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
