The following reply was made to PR kern/12315; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Rich Wales <richw@webcom.com> To: Bruce Evans <bde@zeta.org.au> Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@freebsd.org Subject: Re: kern/12315: install fails on system with old IDE hard drives Date: Sun, 20 Jun 1999 22:16:45 -0700 (PDT) Bruce -- It looks like the problem is in the 3.x boot code. I created a boot floppy with the new boot code and the 2.2.7 kernel that already runs OK on the 486 system in question. It loaded the kernel OK, but as the kernel was running through all the devices on the system, it said it would use "fake" disk geometry values for wd0 and wd1. It soon thereafter died with a "no init" panic.
