I know I'm doing something stupid here, but I'm just not quite sure what. :)

I've got a Miata with two disks, and I've pretty much got FreeBSD up and
running on the second disk.

% uname -a
FreeBSD subway.plutotech.com 3.0-BETA FreeBSD 3.0-BETA #1: Thu Sep 24 16:44:04 MDT 1998     root@subway.plutotech.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/subway alpha

The problem is, the only way I've been able to boot the thing so far is by
netbooting.  (there were a number of tricks to figure out, but it does
work)

I compiled the bootblocks in sys/boot/alpha (had to hack the include paths
and such), and installed them in /usr/mdec.

Then I did:

disklabel -B da1

/boot has the right files, I think:

% ls -la /boot
total 356
drwxrwxr-x   2 root  wheel    512 Sep 24 19:06 .
drwxr-xr-x  19 root  wheel    512 Sep 24 18:06 ..
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   6512 Sep 24 19:06 boot1
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel   6512 Sep 19 17:08 boot1.old
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  82432 Sep 24 19:11 boot2
-r-xr-xr-x   1 root  wheel  82232 Sep 19 17:07 boot2.old

I've tried to boot off the disk by typing this at the console prompt:

>>> boot -flags 'a' dkc100

And here's what I get:  (typed in by hand, excuse any typos)

>>>boot -flags 'a' dkc100
(boot dkc100.1.0.1009.0 -flags a)
block 0 of dkc100.1.0.1009 is a valid boot block
reading 13 blocks from dkc100.1.0.1009.0
bootstrap code read in
base = 14e000, image start = 0, image bytes = 1a00
initializing HWRPB at 2000
initializing page table at 140000
initializing machine state
setting affinity to the primary CPU
jumping to bootstrap code


And it just hangs there.  Anyone have an idea of what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

Ken
