Hampton Finger >Organization: Sunland Resources, Inc. >Release: 2.2.8-RELEASE >Environment: FreeBSD srigate.srisoft.com 2.2.8-RELEASE FreeBSD 2.2.8-RELEASE #0: Fri Dec 25 21:16:33 CST 1998 hampton@srigate.srisoft.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/SRIGATE i386 >Description: Upon booting from the boot.flp (downloaded from FreeBSD.org 2.2.8-RELEASE directory) and configing the kernel via the visual editor, selecting the "fixit" option and choosing the floppy, my system locks up after asking for the fixit floppy to be inserted. everything looks like it is working upuntil the floppy seek returns and asks for the floppy again... it should work, but it doesn't. >How-To-Repeat: Boot off the 2.2.8-RELEASE boot floppy, config the kernel via the visual editor, select the "fixit" option from the menu, follow the prompts for a floppy recovery, press enter after you have replaced the boot floppy with the fixit floppy and watch your machine lock... (endless loop) >Fix: No Clue... I would think that the fixit floppy img is broken or that the implementation in the boot floppy is broken... >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
