Hi all,
my FreeBSD (2.2-stable) refuses to boot from SCSI-Disk at default
(for example after a power fail or another cold start condition).
There is no problem if I say "sd(0,a)kernel" at the "boot:" prompt.
The FreeBSD-Partition on my SCSI disk is "active":
bm@Reineke:/usr/home/bm$ fdisk /dev/sd0
******* Working on device /dev/sd0 *******
parameters extracted from in-core disklabel are:
cylinders=1023 heads=65 sectors/track=62 (4030 blks/cyl)
parameters to be used for BIOS calculations are:
cylinders=1023 heads=65 sectors/track=62 (4030 blks/cyl)
Media sector size is 512
Warning: BIOS sector numbering starts with sector 1
Information from DOS bootblock is:
The data for partition 1 is:
sysid 165,(FreeBSD/NetBSD/386BSD)
start 62, size 4122628 (2013 Meg), flag 80 (active)
beg: cyl 0/ sector 1/ head 1;
end: cyl 1022/ sector 62/ head 64
The data for partition 2 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 3 is:
<UNUSED>
The data for partition 4 is:
<UNUSED>
The boot sequence of my motherboards BIOS is "C,A".
My "/boot.config" consists of the single line: "0:sd(0,a)kernel"
What's going wrong?
Thanks in advance for any help
Burkard
