I've been migrating an existing FreeBSD 4.1-STABLE system to an HP Kayak XA system -- basically moving the hard disks and NICs from one box to another and I'm now having a devil of a time booting. When I get the initial boot menu I have a choice of F1 for DOS, F2 for FreeBSD and F5 for Disk 2. I cannot choose F2 -- all I get is a beep, it will not timeout to that choice either. F1 works, F5 brings me to the second disk which has a non-booting FreeBSD filesystem on it. I can only boot the system by choosing the non-booting filesystem on disk2, getting an error, and entering: 0:ad(0,a)/kernel at the boot: prompt. The system will boot normally at that point. I've moved these same disks between hardware platforms without a problem more than once. If I move the disks back to the original box they boot just fine. What am I missing and can anything be done to fix it? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
