Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I really like FreeBSD 2.2.7 but recently I installed version 3.4 on a different hard disk as a fresh installation (not an upgrade). The installation floppy diskettes (krn.flp and mfsroot.flp) successfully copied all of 3.4's distribution files into their /usr /var and root / filesystems. But when the system boots up for the first time, this error pops up: not ufs not ufs No /boot/loader Typing 0:wd(0,a)/kernel doesn't work either. The error returned is: not ufs no /kernel How can the slice not be UFS? The fdisk partition editor that the floppies used to format the slice formatted it as Type 165, which is FreeBSD UFS, the default. I'm kinda stumped. Any ideas sure would be appreciated. Thanks in advance. - Tony Cognata tonyc@computerland.net To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
