Date: Wed, 31 May 2000 05:04:56 PDT Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi All, I've installed FreeBSD 4.0-R on a Thinkpad 600X. The hard drive is 12GB. Due to there being a previous installation of WIN98+NT, I was forced to install beyond cylinder 1024. After installation, the boot manager is unable to boot the FBSD partition. How can I boot using fbsdboot? I've tried using the kernel from the install CD, and the kernel from the installed root filesystem, but it complains about bad format (of the kernel, I'd guess). The root device's node is /dev/ad03a. The primary DOS partition's node is /dev/ad01a. Please help - I'm now forced to use a solution such as VMWare, which is less than optimal (to say the least :) ). Cheers, Alex. ________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
