What I've been doing is swapping hardware around on this box in order to get 5.3-REL CD-Sets to boot on this machine.., What I found is that swapping out the Tekram card for an Adaptec-29160 enabled (for whatever reason) to be able to boot and install off the 5.3-REL CD's. After (using the 29160 SCSI disk utility) formatting both SCSI disks, the installation went fine, until the first reboot - I get the following: No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:da(0,a)/kernel No /kernel FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:da(0,a)/kernel boot: I've tried (following another format on both disks) reinstalling with another set of 5.3-REL cd's, and get the same error.., I'm thinking that I should now try to swap the disks as well.., but the last thing I tried was to install Fedora Core-3 again, and ...., it installs and boots into Fedora fine! Again, using the same disks and SCSI cards.., Thanks again for the time and patience on this.., Let me know what you think, please.., Regards, Stacey > > If the install target still fails with test.1.gz, have a closer look > on /usr/obj/usr/src/bin/test/test.1.gz.
