Hmm, when I try to boot of this iso, the boot process seems to be starting OK, but then after lists out the various devices that it found (acd0 being the last one), it drops me into a "mountroot" prompt, asking for the Manual root filesystem specification. I try things like 'ufs:acd0a', or even 'ufs:ad0a' (the root partition on the hard disk from the previous install) but nothing seems to successfully get me past that point. I am trying this on an ultra-10, one which I had installed the previous ISO on. I don't remember hitting this mountroot prompt at that time. I don't see it in the installation notes for sparc64. (have those installation notes been updated at all?) Is anyone else seeing this? Am I just doing something dumb here? -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = gad@gilead.netel.rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@freebsd.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute or drosih@rpi.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-sparc" in the body of the message
