Date: Tue, 16 Jan 2001 18:06:09 +0900 Message-Id: <20010116180609O.matusita@jp.FreeBSD.org> Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I've just got a report that current 4-stable's floppy image, kern.flp is broken and it can't boot. Here is a sample session: *** BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS 637/kB/48128kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (root@usw3.freebsd.org, Mon Jan 15 11:41:27 GMT 2001) /kernel text=0x24113b data=0x2fdac+0x201ec elf_loadexec: cannot seek can't load module '/kernel': input/output error | Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt. Booting [kernel]... /kernel text=0x24113b data=0x2fdac+0x201ec elf_loadexec: cannot seek can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' Type '?' for a list of commands, 'help' for more detailed help. ok *** What's going wrong? P.S.: I've confirmed this on VMware Workstation so there is no possibility that floppy drive and/or floppy media are broken :-) -- - Makoto `MAR' MATSUSHITA To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
