Each time I get "read error" right before the kernel begins to load. I found this archived for NetBSD http://mail-index.netbsd.org/netbsd-help/1997/07/23/0004.html and it describes my problems to a tee. Now, how can I boot into single user mode from the install floppies after the install reboot? I've tried using the ttyv4 holographic shell but I can't even /sbin/mount from there. Once I do manage to get to single user mode what will I need to edit using /sbin/fdisk to make sure this is using Cylinder 0, Head 1, Sector 1? |> /\ \/ @ davidd@datasphereweb.com DataSphere - Back end web programming, site security, and networking david.daugherty@netmanage.com Software Engineer NetManage - The Bridge to E-Business http://www.wcug.wwu.edu/~doc ICQ: 21106703 "I like the dreams of the future better than the history of the past" -Thomas Jefferson To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
