Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Like many others I have a boot problem. System has a VLbus IDE controller, 2 drives. Primary is 540M and secondary 380M. 486DX 20M memory. FDISK says slice is C356 - C1023, which puts it under the limit. Setup is 697 cylinders of 1053. Boot message displays then |. Tried loading to second hard drive and using hd1,a with same results. This system was running UNIXware 1.1.4 with both drives. Deleted NON DOS partition and loaded 2.0. Floppy runs fine, no other errors. No diagnostics why it can't boot, after all it starts the fails. No bootmanager in use. Tried bootmanager and results were the same Tips? Pointer to FAQ? None seem to apply to the problems currently occurring. ------------------------------------- E-mail: richterb@ccnet.com Date: 10/28/95 Time: 21:28:26 This message was sent by Chameleon -------------------------------------
