Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" ; format="flowed" Sender: owner-freebsd-mobile@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi I had a working install of FreeBSD 3.3 Release working on this Fujitsu Lifebook 735Dx. It was installed on the hard disk within 'dos partitions', ie without the 'dangerously dedicated' disk option, 'use entire disk'. I then backed it up and started installing 4.0-R on it. It booted up fine from the CD without me having to turn off any drivers. I chose the 'dangerously dedicated' option, ie allowing it to use the entire disk. Unfortunately i think the power was pulled out after the install 'finished' but before it was quit manually... Anyway, now when finished loading the bios and doing a post it just says 'read error'. I've tried completely reinstalling, even going back to having a dos compatible disk layout, and the boot loader also says 'read error' after you hit F2. Does anyone have any clues what I might have done to this poor machine? I've tried installing 3.4-R on it too and the same result. I haven't tried 3.3-R again yet.
