Hi,
I'm trying to get FreeBSD 5.0-20011230-CURRENT running under VMware 3.0 as
a guest OS. The install process goes fine, but the system fails to boot.
20011225 snapshot did exactly the same thing. It's likely that this is a
bug in VMware rather than FreeBSD; I'm wondering whether anyone else
has successfully run -CURRENT in VMware.
Here's the last part of the boot log:
Creating DISK ad0
ad0: <VMware Virtual IDE Hard Drive/00000001> ATA-2 disk at ata0-master
ad0: 2559MB (5242608 sectors), 5201 C, 16 H, 63 S, 512 B
ad0: 16 secs/int, 1 depth queue, UDMA33
ad0: piomode=4 dmamode=2 udmamode=2 cblid=0
Mounting root from ufs:/dev/ad0s1a
ad0s1: type 0xa5, start 63, end = 5242607, size 5242545 : OK
start_init: trying /sbin/init
[It stalled here; I gave it 5 mins but nothing happened]
Debugger("manual escape to debugger")
Stopped at Debugger+0x44: pushl %ebx
db> trace
Debugger()
scgetc()
sckbdevent()
atkbd_intr()
atkbd_isa_intr()
ithread_loop()
fork_exit()
fork_trampoline()
[args have been snipped]
Looks like it has died after execve()'ing /sbin/init ?
Any suggestions about this would be appreciated.
Tim
