I recently added a 3ware ATA Raid card to a 4.2-R box. Now I get
"invalid partition" messages on bootup.
Does anyone know how to fix this?
I am able to get the system to run with manual intervnetion, but reboot
fails. Here is more detail on what happens at boot:
3ware Storage Controller BIOS BEXX 1.03.00.027
ARRAY UNIT 0 STRIPE 64K 120.0 GB
PORT 0 ST340823A 40.0GB
PORT 1 ST340823A 40.0GB
PORT 2 ST340823A 40.0GB
3ware BIOS installed successfully
Adaptec AHA-2940 Ultra/Ultra w/ BIOS v1.25
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 0:0 - SEAGATE ST34527N - Drive D: (81h)
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 2:0 - SEAGATE ST34527N - Drive 82h
SCSI ID:LUN NUMBER #:# 3:0 - TEAK CD-R58S
SCSI BIOS installed successfully

invalid partition
No /boot/loader
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
invalid partition
No /kernel
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel
boot:
At this point if type in 1:ad(0,a)/kernel
the boot will start to proceed. Then it will stop with:
no devsw (majdev=30 bootdev=0x020001e)
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device>
mountroot>
Now I can type ufs:/dev/da0s1a and the machine will come up.
What do I have to do so that machine will boot normally?
Thanks for your help,
Matt
