Anyway I was nearly through wothout a kernel been built yet and the binaries were already installed. You know what happens then. invalid system call and core dumps on nearly every /bin/binary. I had planned in case of failure to counter this by booting a live CD, mount the source tree and get through building a new kernel from a mounted src environment. But the 5.0 system I had on CD had problems recognizing my second FreeBSD partition on the bay drive of my Dell Inspiron 8000. I could mount /dev/ad2s1 (ad2s2 is a NTFS) and it did not see /dev/ad2s3 (Under 5.1 and 5.1-current I was able to mount /dev/ad2s3) Anyway, what I urgently need is a -current kernel with a /boot or any other advice to pull myself by my own hairs out of this soup? Can anybody help me? -- Chris Christoph P. U. Kukulies kuku_at_physik.rwth-aachen.de
