While most of the debugging info flew by too fast to read, I did notice the hard disk and the hard disk partitions were probed and recognized. At the end of of the boot process, I did not a string of errors. Here they are: APM Slice 13 (Extra/Apple) on ad0: GEOM: Configure ad013... umass0: Phase Error, residue = 0 (probe 0:umass-sim0:0:0): Request Completed with CAM_REQ_ERR (probe1:...) Retrying command (probe1:...) error 22 (probe1:...) Unretryable Error) (probe2...probe7) error 22 (probe0:umass-sim0:0:0): Retries Exhausted I burned the iso a second time to be sure it wasn't the disc. Should I be entering 'set currdev=cd:,' at the OK prompt -- along with 'boot -s'? Any help?
