Hi all,
I have a disk partitioned like this:
# ls /dev/ada1*
/dev/ada1 /dev/ada1s2 /dev/ada1s2b /dev/ada1s2e
/dev/ada1s1 /dev/ada1s2a /dev/ada1s2d /dev/ada1s2f
# gpart show
=> 63 976773105 ada1 MBR (466G)
63 63 - free - (32K)
126 79691661 1 freebsd (38G)
79691787 63 - free - (32K)
79691850 897081255 2 freebsd [active] (428G)
976773105 63 - free - (32K)
=> 0 79691661 ada1s1 BSD (38G)
0 79691661 - free - (38G)
=> 0 897081255 ada1s2 BSD (428G)
0 6 - free - (3.0K)
6 6291456 1 freebsd-ufs (3.0G)
6291462 8388608 2 freebsd-swap (4.0G)
14680070 4194304 4 freebsd-ufs (2.0G)
18874374 79691776 5 freebsd-ufs (38G)
98566150 798515104 6 freebsd-ufs (381G)
897081254 1 - free - (512B)
(I'll fill the s1 slice with an older version of windows in the future,
hence MBR.) During install of 11-CURRENT system (the same happened with
10-STABLE) I set desired partitions like this:
ada1 466 GB MBR
ada1s1 38 GB BSD
ada1s2 428 GB BSD
ada1s2a 3.0 GB freebsd-ufs /
ada1s2b 4.0 GB freebsd-swap
ada1s2d 2.0 GB freebsd-ufs /var
ada1s2e 38 GB freebsd-ufs /usr
ada1s2f 381 GB freebsd-ufs /home
After install, I did
boot0cfg -B ada1
After boot, I got the expected menu:
F1 FreeBSD
F2 FreeBSD
...
However, after pressing F2, I got only # sign printed. Repeated pressing F2
resulted just in new # added behind in the same line.
I can't figure out what else I have to do. What am I missing?
