/* Summary of the message: how to change the value of the `text=' field of BOOT? */ My FreeBSD (2.1) boot disk won't boot on my secondary computer. First, here's the screen capture: . ... . .. clip. .. . >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: [...] Use hd(1,a)/kernel [...] Usage: [...] Use ? for [...] Boot: -c Booting fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x20c000 text=0xfc000 data-0x0 bss 0xa00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x27c+0x4+0x1fb] total=0x30947f entry point-0x20c000 Uncompressing kernel...done Booting the kernelel...done Booting the kernelel...done . . . . . . ... . . clip.. .. This is where it stops. I believe this happens because i have an ancient Hercules adapter onboard, and nothing more sophisticated. There are two things that would support this: 1) the `text=0xfc000'; 0xfc000 is (i believe) the address for graphics adapters, my hercules board would be found at 0xfb000 2) the video output is screwed at the end, anything after the last `l' in the `Booting the kernelel...done' and the duplicated line are trash. I tried to RTFM, but since i couldn't find much of a manual about this on the CD, it tried the shotgun-way, which (suprise, suprise) didn't do too much good. :( TIA, any help greatly appreciated. .mace
