Any suggestion what to do now?-) Did you disklabel -B ? For me it worked and stoped because of a missing /boot/kernel/kernel.ko. no magic as the kernel got installed without ending in .ko ;( boot from cdrom - I got it working with burning the 100M disk from another alpha onto a cdrom. If you have a fixit cdrom it's much easier. Maybe you can also win if you have an older loader on the disk with pressing 'space' quite after the "jumping to bootstrap code" message and entering the pathname. -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
