X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.5 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Wed, 16 Apr 2008 13:16:30 -0000 Hi: I'm a newbie to FreeBSD and I've installed 7.0 on a USB flash card, but I can't seem to boot off of it. I don't get an error message, the PC just goes through POST, then re-cycles and continues this loop. I was able to get OpenBSD to boot off of this flash card, so I know my hardware setup is ok. A couple other things I tried, from the loader prompt: set currdev=disk1s1a: load /boot/kernel/kernel but I just get BTX halted. Just wondering if anyone else has seen this issue?
