Hi, As people may know from my previous posts I've had a HD die. I got a new one and reinstalled everything. It boots one machine fine. Problem is that it wont boot the machine it is destined for. The boot dies with: archsw.readin Looking through the archives people have said it is either the boot blocks or the loader. I had an old drive placed in the machine (2.2-970819-RELENG) so I could mount the new drive. I mounted it and ran disklabel -B -b /mnt/root/boot/boot1 -s /mnt/root/boot/boot2 wd1 an ls -l in /mnt/root (the root partition of the new drive) /boot: -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Mar 22 08:17 boot0 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 512 Mar 22 08:17 boot1 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 7680 Mar 22 08:17 boot2 <snip> -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 131072 Mar 22 08:17 loader and ls -l /mnt/root/kernel.GENERIC -rwxr-xr-x 1 root wheel 2346971 Mar 22 22:59 /mnt/root/kernel.GENERIC (I'm trying to boot using GENERIC). What am I doing wrong? Thanks, Andrew To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
