I have a situation and I was wondering if anyone could
offer any advice. The motherboard in my home PC died
and while I wait for a new one to arrive I've moved the
drives to another, older box; unfortunately FBSD won't
boot in the system.
I'm running (or, rather was running) 3.3 from a couple
of weeks back.
The original configuration:
K6 233
96MB RAM
Dual Channel IDE
Primary
Master: 5G
Primary Partition for DOS/WFW
Primary Partition for Win95
Extended Partition (5 Logical DOS Drives)
Free
Slave: 5G
/
swap
/var
/usr
Secondary
Master: CD
Slave: CD
Using OSBSBeta as boot manager
The 'new' configuration:
486DX4 100
64MB RAM
Single Channel IDE
Primary
Master: 5G
same from above
Slave: 5G
same from above
Using OSBSBeta as boot manager
Booting to FreeBSD results in the following sequence:
Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x802d1880)
No /boot/loader
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 1:(wd(1,a)/kernel
boot: <ENTER>
Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x20fb1600)
Invalid format
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 1:(wd(1,a)/kernel
boot: <?><ENTER>
. .. dev usr var stand etc proc floppy bin boot lkm mnt
root sbin tmp sys boot.help COPYRIGHT kernel.GENERIC
kernel cdrom-top modules compat .kde kernel.prev home
kernel.original kernel.old cdrom-bottom kernel.works
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 1:(wd(1,a)/kernel
boot:
Anyone have any suggestions? Thanks.
