[-- Attachment #1 --] ----- Original Message ----- From: Lane Holcombe To: support@cdrom.com ; questions@freebsd.org Sent: Saturday, April 10, 1999 8:42 AM Subject: How to boot freebsd? I have just completed installation of freeBSD 3.1 from cdrom, but i cannot seem to convince my computer that freeBSD exists on the harddrive. Please help. I have one Seagate 34520A on controller zero which has a FAT, EXTENDED, and FREEBSD partition. I believe that the freeBSD partition is named wd0s3, because I can actually MOUNT that partition when using cdrom2 as a 'live file system'. Anyway .... When the system first starts up, I get the "boot:" prompt. I type in "0:wd(x,a)? [where x is any number from 0 to 9]" and I get the error "not ufs." I have also replaced the 'a" with values up to and including "f" lane [-- Attachment #2 --] <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" http-equiv=Content-Type> <META content="MSHTML 5.00.2014.210" name=GENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=#ffffff> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial">----- Original Message ----- <DIV style="BACKGROUND: #e4e4e4; font-color: black"><B>From:</B> <A href="mailto:lholcombe@ddyne.com" title=lholcombe@ddyne.com>Lane Holcombe</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>To:</B> <A href="mailto:support@cdrom.com" title=support@cdrom.com>support@cdrom.com</A> ; <A href="mailto:questions@freebsd.org" title=questions@freebsd.org>questions@freebsd.org</A> </DIV> <DIV><B>Sent:</B> Saturday, April 10, 1999 8:42 AM</DIV> <DIV><B>Subject:</B> How to boot freebsd?</DIV></DIV> <DIV><BR></DIV> <DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I have just completed installation of freeBSD 3.1 from cdrom, but i cannot seem to convince my computer that freeBSD exists on the harddrive.
