(v1.34a) UNREG / CD5BF9353B3B7091 X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Message-ID: <9858.990906@home.com> To: FreeBSD hackers , FreeBSD questions Subject: new kernel build, bad MSF image Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I have only recently begun to use FreeBSD but I consider myself competent with Linux and I have had FreeBSD installed on my PC for over a week now and I decided to build a kernel for my machine and get rid of all the unnecessary drivers and whatnot (like everything SCSI, the Qcam stuff, PS/2 mouse stuff, etc) and I finally got the kernel to build after having to fight with it over the definition of the floppy drive. Here's the problem: Whenever I attempt to boot my FreeBSD partition (I'm dual-booting FreeBSD & 98) it goes through all the normal bootup messages until it mounts the root partition ("changing root device to wd0s1a") and it immediately complains about "panic: MFS image is invalid!!" and forces me to reboot. This happens if I use kernel, kernel.old or kernel.GENERIC. What can I do to fix it?
