--e89a8ff253bc30b19404ca14b0a7 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1 Hi list! I must warn you, I'm quite new to FreeBSD (I'm mostly using Linux otherwise). I have inherited an old (yes, very old) BSD 4.7 machine on my work that I need to clone. I've setuped an identical copy of the slices on the target machine, ran dump the source machine and restore on the target machine, edited /etc/fstab to match the filesystems. I'm also running the GENERIC-kernel, I've done this using the FreeSBIE live CD. However, when I boot I get to BTX loader (so I guess boot0 and boot2 is correct), that can't load kernel nor kernel.old. see attached img1.png . I can't ls, as the loader says there is no such file or directory (also seen in img1.png). lsdev gives a correct answer, all slices are there with their correct size. echo $currdev returns disk1s1a as it should (see attached img2.png). Mounting the disks works, and their content is correct, with all file params set. Any ideas how to get this target machine to boot? Thanks in advance, Fritiof Hedman --e89a8ff253bc30b19404ca14b0a7--
