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: 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 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
