That's certainly not the FreeBSD bootblocks talking. Looks like you need to do the "standard" disklabelling magic before rebooting but after the install. > Can't open /dev/rda0s1a: Device not configured That's normal too; you need to update /etc/fstab by hand as sysinstall is writing out the sliced version but the SRM console won't boot from a sliced disk. Try: # mount /dev/da0a / ... (other mounts as required) # vi /etc/fstab (remove 'sX' from device names) # disklabel -B da0 (should fix the inability to boot from dka0) # reboot -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
