Hello,
FreeBSD 4.2, PC 512MMB RAM, 2- HD 60 & 40 Mb. AMD K7 CPU, 900MHz on
AI61 MotherBoard
System found in indeterminate state, assumed power failure
problem. Several reboot and boot attempts failed.
Re-installed O/S, system came back up, data intact on 2nd HD
but not seen in fstab file, remount etc. OK smooth running,
fine
Doing a tar xf from a CDROM, system went into a "block size"
error, starting a "disc sync" mode followed by a "reboot"
condition but never came back up.
Seems as if Win start up disk required in floppy drive and
FreeBSD distr. Disk 1or 2 reqd. in cdrom for a "boot"
Now it makes no difference
Any idea of what could be causing this and possible solution(s)
Thanks
