I'm cc'ing this to hackers in hope someone will be able to provide some assistance. 1. The problem in the subj line is affecting my system and also <tom@batc.allied.com>. I'm using the NCR 53c810 SCSI, and Tom is using IDE. Both systems were running the 0322 SNAP without problems. 2. I can boot with the 0322 fixit floppy and mount sd0a without a problem. 3. During the install of 0412 newfs produces the following warning message 'Calculated sectors per cylinder 4096 disagrees with disklabel (2046). No other warnings/errors are produced during the install. 4. Booting the 0412 SNAP kernel placed on the disk by the install process with -v prints out the BIOS geometries and then hangs. Looking at the sources for 0322- that tells me that it's getting to cpu_startup() but not much more. The geometries reported are: BIOS Geometries: 0:3ff0208 1:4f010f 2:4f010f 3:4f010f 4:4f010f 5:4f010f 6:4f010f 7:4f010f 0 accounted for Booting the 0322 fixit floppy with -v produces the same geometry information. I haven't a clue if that info is good/bad etc. 5. Anyone have a 0412 based fixit floppy? I'm stuck and I'm not sure how to proceed. bill ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Arbaugh "Waste of time is the most waarbau@super.org extravagant of all expenses" waa@dsl.cis.upenn.edu -Theophrastus ----------------------------------------------------------------
