I did that move once, the alpha didn't like the / partition except in the
"a" partition.

I thought I could be cool and stick swap in front of / once, with not so
good results.

Maybe a re-install is in order.

Howdy crew,

I have just installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 4.5 Release-Mini-Alpha
on my Alpha pws 500au.

I have two disks on the pws.

1. dkc0
2. dkc100

I have Tru64 5.1a installed on the 1st HD (dkc0). I can boot from this
device
from the SRM and Tru64 loads fine.

I have installed FreeBSD on disk 2 (dkc100). All *seemed* to install fine.
However, when I do a:

>>> boot dkc100

from the SRM I get this error:

       ........
       Loading /boot/loader
       Can't open file /boot/loader

       halted CPU 0

       >>>

When I come to think of it, in the install process I was never asked about a
boot loader.
Is this normal ?
Does something manually have to be done to get it to boot ?
Is the install process meant to load a boot loader ?

Need the help boys ;-(

Thanks

 - Alex
