Minor typo/clarification: the transition problem lies between boot1 and boot2, it seems. On one of the machines (which uses boot1 across serial console), the system reports "Invalid partition" when trying to boot from -- and yes, this is not a typo -- 0:ad(0,`). Manually typing in the correct device (which is 0:ad(0,a)) causes the machine to spit out an exception error and reboot automatically. Just wanted to clarify on that point. -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Thu, Jul 29, 2004 at 04:59:49PM -0700, Jeremy Chadwick wrote: > Greetings. > > I've managed to confirm a "problem" (note quotes) with disklabel on > the latest cvs. > > After upgrading the machine (buildworld/buildkernel/installkernel, > reboot in single user, installworld) and doing `disklabel -B ad0s1', > the transition between boot0 and boot1 causes an exception error, > panics, and then reboots. > > I've got two completely different -CURRENT systems which both do this > with the latest cvs. Is this related to the gcc 3.4 import?
