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: Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x20fb1600) Invalid format >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 1:(wd(1,a)/kernel boot: . .. 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?
