Hi Steve, > > I have a problem with booting from a 128MB USB-memory-stick with the ASUS A7V-133 motherboard. I downloaded the boot-floppy-image"boot.flp" (version 6.2) from the FreeBSD-FTP-server and "dd"-ed it to a memory stick. Booting from this stick works fine with every other computer I have (a notebook and a newer workstation also with an ASUS-board). But trying to boot from the stick with the A7V gives me the following output: > > > > <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> > > Not ufs > > Not ufs > > No /boot/loader > > FreeBSD/i386 boot > > Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel > > boot: > > Not ufs > > No /boot/kernel/kernel > > <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> > > > > What happens if you enter: > > 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel > > ...at the boot: prompt (as opposed to fd(0,a)? first of all: Thanks a lot for you very quick response. Entering this at the prompt gives me the following output (includes the entered data): <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> boot: 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernelerror 1 lba 0 No /boot/kernel/kernel <------------------------- 8< -------------------------------> Any other things I should try?
