I upgraded the Caldera partition to version 2.3 but I don't remember checking out whether FreeBSD still booted. I've now upgraded the FreeBSD partition to 3.3 and don't know which "upgrade" caused the problem. > Also I wonder whether it would work if you used da instead of sda on the > FreeBSD drive device. Neither Caldera or Redhat recognize "da" as a valid device. "sda" or "sda1", but not "da". The device has to be a valid /dev for lilo to install. > Annelise > > > > -------------- drive configuration --------------- > > > > Disk 1 (BIOS Drive 0x80) - IDE - Disk is dedicated to Windows 95 > > (/dev/hda) > > > > Disk 2 (BIOS Drive 0x81) - IDE - Two systems on this disk: > > > > First Partition - Redhat Linux 6.0 (/dev/hdb1) > > Second Partition - Caldera 2.3 (/dev/hdb2) > > > > Disk 3 (BIOS Drive 0x82) - SCSI - Disk is dedicated to FreeBSD > > (/dev/sda) > > > > -------------- error log --------------- > > > > Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle > > changing root device to da2s1a > > changing root device to da2ada0 at aha1 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 > > da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-CCS device > > da0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) > > da0: 1280MB (2621688 512 byte sectors: 64H 32S/T 1280C) > > cd0 at aha1 bus 0 target 5 lun 0 > > cd0: Removable CD-ROM SCSI-2 device > > cd0: 5.000MB/s transfers (5.000MHz, offset 8) > > cd0: cd present [329606 x 2048 byte records] > > error 6: panic: cannot mount root (2) > > > > syncing disks... done > > Automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press a key on the console to abort > > > > -------------- /etc/lilo.conf --------------- > > > > # > > # general section > > # > > boot = /dev/hda > > install = /boot/boot.b > > message = /boot/message > > prompt > > > > # wait 5 seconds (200 10ths) for user to select the entry to load > > timeout = 50 > > > > default = 3 > > vga = normal > > > > disk = /dev/hda > > bios = 0x80 > > disk = /dev/hdb > > bios = 0x81 > > disk = /dev/sda > > bios = 0x82 > > > > other = /dev/hda1 > > label = dos > > table = /dev/hda > > > > image = /boot/vmlinuz-2.2.5-15 > > label = 1 > > root = /dev/hdb1 > > read-only > > > > image = /boot/vmlinuz > > label = 2 > > root = /dev/hdb2 > > read-only > > > > other = /dev/sda1 > > label = 3 > > table = /dev/sda > > loader = /boot/chain.b > > > > > > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org > with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
