The floppies were in the 4.1.1-release sectionof the ftp site I have had no trouble using 4.1-stable that I downloaded last month but the latest release is not working at all. Everything seems to go ok through the entire install process until the finasl reboot then I get the following: >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:da(0,a)kernel Boot: Invalid partition No /kernel This message repeats noi matter what I try. This only other difference between this install and the one a month ago was the addition of a Promise Ultra 100 IDE Controller. Which is why I decided to reinstall in the first place. I have a 128MB swap and 392MB /tmp on ad0 (520MB SCSI) I also have default all on the da4 (20GB IDE) Thats the most info I can give right now since my system is unbootable and I cant access any more info without attempting a reinstall. This is the third time this weekend and I am finished unless I can get some guidance Can anyone help?
