--=-MwAMWyi1tHHUKYTNchG0 Content-Type: text/plain Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I realise that this email may sound like a bad joke. Believe me it is not.=20 I would like to know i can boot into BSD without needing a CD to boot from, before I start building my world.=20 To this end I attempted to set up the bootloader as instructed earlier (boot.tbxi) by simply copying it to the root of the HFS partition. It would appear however that my computer will have none of that. So, next thing to try is copying /boot/loader from the CD to /loader on the HFS partition, as i was also instructed by another ML user.=20 ... The FreeBSD cd won't mount. It just says : invalid argument=20 when I try to specify a mountpoint, as such:=20 # mount /dev/acd0 /mnt/cdrom=20 Please forgive me if I'm Doing It Wrong.=20 if the command=20 # mount /dev/acd0 is used, the box simply does nothing, but on the otehr hand doesn't report an error. quaint, no? Also, to whoever shouted out earlier about improved UDMA support in the kernel, can I have links to the relevant downloads? I'm going to rebuild this thing anyhow so I may as well use the niceties :) Cheers.=20 -- Horst. --=-MwAMWyi1tHHUKYTNchG0 Content-Type: application/pgp-signature; name=signature.asc Content-Description: This is a digitally signed message part -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.9 (GNU/Linux) iEYEABECAAYFAkjuE4kACgkQRtTtv0BbTe6LfACeJDKKZ7zHTIukx3k2TBczh21d +PgAn2j7P4cIDbQQ3Zx7cmsAPA3Pk+Nl =lyuW -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --=-MwAMWyi1tHHUKYTNchG0--
