Did you look at the boot log that Matt posted last week? I've uploaded it to Freefall & left it in ~gallatin/going_nowhere in case you misplaced it. To sum up, sysinstall complains bitterly about the existing state of the disk labels, then dies. Here's the tail end: da4s4: slice starts beyond end of the disk: rejecting it da1: raw partition size != slice size da1: start 0, end 8380079, size 8380080 da1c: start 0, end 4294967295, size 0 da1: raw partition size != slice size da1: start 0, end 8380079, size 8380080 da1c: start 0, end 4294967295, size 0 init died (signal 0, exit 1) panic: Going nowhere without my init! syncing disks... done Uptime: 1m1s Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort --> Press a key on the console to reboot <-- Rebooting... I think this may be a transient bug in sysinstall, and may not actually be in the loader/bootstrap at all. For what its worth, the sysinstall ran just fine on my AS500, which was configured as da0: linux/alpha (BSD label, SRM bootable, elf /sbin/init) da1: dd'ed ISO RC2 image da2: (unknown; haven't looked at that disk) Drew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
