After defining a mount point in disklabel and installing the bindist from that partition, the OS won't boot completely. I get a message about not being able to mount /msdos and am banished to sh, where I have no luck mounting it manually: # mount_msdos /dev/wd0s4 /msdos # mount: bad argument Much obliged for any suggestions. Please reply via email, as I haven't been receiving mailing list posts for several weeks. One note: since my disk has 1048 cyl, I have set the bios to 1024 so that dos doesn't corrupt the MBR by mapping the geometry. This works fine in 2.0-RELEASE. Please let me know if you need more detailed info, and I will email it this evening. Thanks again, Chris -- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- \_0 Christopher Larrieu | Continuous Electron Beam Accelerator Facility 0_/ /`- larrieu@cebaf.gov | Newport News, Virginia. -'\ | \_ ------------------------------------------------------------------- _/ |
