Near end of mfsroot.flp loading I get: zf_read: unexpected EOF but it continues booting. Just after normal msgs about fd0 & ppc, it starts spewing unending messages so fast I can't read them well. Something like this, over and over: vm_fault: pager read error pid 1 error 5 [...] spec_getpages: (md0) [...] I bit-checked the CD and floppies and they're good. Apparently I have an Intel chipset. From boot msgs: Intel 82371SB PCI to ISA bridge Intel PIIX3 ATA controller fdc0 NEC 72065B or clone The 'puter installs Linux and FreeBSD 4.7 OK (except only Linux will boot from the CD). There were only a few msgs at groups.google.com with that error msg and not much help, but then I don't need 5.0 and so don't need help. BTW, that "md0" looked interesting to me because I just had this error on my main 5.0 (08'jan'03) system when trying to fix my script which uses (used) obsolete "vnconfig". $ XXX=$(mdconfig -a -t vnode -u 0 /big/ftp/pub/5.0-RC2-i386-disc1.iso) mdconfig: ioctl(/dev/mdctl): Bad address To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
