I had no problems whatsoever installing either 3.4-RELEASE or the 4.0-20000307 snapshot on a pc164 alpha system, however I can't get the new system to boot (I'm using the most recent SRM firmware from gatekeeper.dec.com). Doing a "show dev" in SRM confirms that my hard disk is DKA0, but I've tried the following without success: boot dka0 boot dka0 -fi /kernel Both of the above commands yield the following error: ====================================================== block 0 of dka0.0.0.9.0 is a valid boot block reading 15 blocks from dka0.0.0.9.0 bootstrap code read in base = 180000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 172000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code Loading /boot/loader halted CPU 0 halt code = 2 kernel stack not valid halt PC = 1004080391d248 ====================================================== Searching the archives brings up a couple of similar messages, but unfortunately no answers that I could see. I come from the Linux world and have no experience with FreeBSD, so I don't know for certain if my boot commands are correct (ie, missing flags or the wrong kernel filename--please be gentle if that's the case :-) ) Thanks, Mike -- Mike Tibor Univ. of Alaska Anchorage (907) 786-1001 voice Network Technician Consortium Library (907) 786-6050 fax tibor@lib.uaa.alaska.edu http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/~tibor/ http://www.lib.uaa.alaska.edu/~tibor/pgpkey for PGP public key To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
