Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I just installed a new drive on an ATA/100 controller (Promise Ultra if it's important). I just used tar to copy the files over to the new drive (yeah I know, expect problems) and moved the original drive to the secondary master of the new controller (new drive is pri master). Booted the machine and at the boot: prompt I had to tell it to boot 0:ad(4,e) and jump thru a couple of other hoops the first time thru. The problem (besides the 'nlist failed' thing but I haven't looked into that yet) is I have to enter 0:ad(4,e) at the prompt every time. boot(8) tells me if I put 0:ad(4,e)/kernel into /boot.config it will fix this - but I still get Invalid Partition when I boot. If I don't put it in /boot.config what file does it go in? Or is there a new way that I haven't discovered yet?
