Ok. I didn't realize this image was a complete filesystem that could be mounted. I replaced boot1 and loader. The machine does the same thing, only this time it shows up as SRM boot disk revision 1.1. Something worth noting, below the memory available it has the | that twirls a bit and stops. After it says: device dka600.6.0.1.1 no longer valid Wait about 5 minutes and it will try to boot. It give the little 10 second thing where you can hit enter to boot immediately and then tries to boot. Then it starts scrolling debug info repeatedly and I can't stop it to read. I presume it's some sort of kernel barf. It did the same thing with the other version of the boot loader (I was playing with it last night). From this I can only guess that it reads part of the image from disk and can't read any more. After the system times out, it believes it has it all and tries to boot, then fails when it hits the part it didn't read. -Michael _________________________________________________________________ http://fastmail.ca/ - Fast Free Web Email for Canadians --------------Boundary-00=_6IMUU9HAMK8NTT4D7TH0-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
