>Description:
Some change in between aug the 31st en September the 6th
prevents my system from booting; I have both SCSI and ATA disks,
system boots from SCSI disk.
I get :
F1 BSD
F2 DOS
F5 drive 1
immediately after executing /boot/loader system spontaneously reboots
saved loader.old from Aug 31st works OK
loader from Sept 06 already failed
current loader still fails
>How-To-Repeat:
make installkernel && make installworld && mergemaster &&reboot
>Fix:
type F5 during boot then :
Invalid partition
No /boot/loader
FreeBSD/i386 boot
Default: 1:da(1,a)/kernel
boot:
Invalid partition
No /kernel
boot:
manually type
0:da(0,a)/boot/loader.old
et voila
