Dear all, I installed a new FreeBSD 4.9 machine from CD. The installation runs fine but on the first reboot the machine hangs after the "Booting [kernel]..." prompt. I see the first "/" and then the boot process stops. "boot -v" doesn't give more output. When interrupting the loader at this point I can 'ls' the root partition without problems. /etc/fstab also looks okay. The machine has one 120 GB IBM disk. I found some references to a wrong geometry so I changed it to the values printed on the HDD itself (C/H/S: 16383 / 16 / 63) on a second try. This did not work either. Any ideas? Thank you! Best Regards, Markus
