The loader expects to be run in a directory which contains a boot subdirectory which is layed out in the standard way (i.e. with loader.conf and a kernel subdirectory etc.). You can sort this out without much effort by doing something like: # mkdir -p boot/kernel # cd boot/kernel # ln -sf ../../../../../ia64/compile/SKI/kernel This assumes that you are using the canned SKI configuration to build kernels. -- Doug Rabson Mail: dfr@nlsystems.com Phone: +44 20 8348 6160 To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ia64" in the body of the message
