I did that move once, the alpha didn't like the / partition except in the "a" partition. I thought I could be cool and stick swap in front of / once, with not so good results. Maybe a re-install is in order. -----Original Message----- From: Alex [mailto:lex@adelaide.on.net] Sent: Wednesday, May 22, 2002 8:48 AM To: alpha@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: "Can't open file /boot/loader" ? Howdy crew, I have just installed a fresh copy of FreeBSD 4.5 Release-Mini-Alpha on my Alpha pws 500au. I have two disks on the pws. 1. dkc0 2. dkc100 I have Tru64 5.1a installed on the 1st HD (dkc0). I can boot from this device from the SRM and Tru64 loads fine. I have installed FreeBSD on disk 2 (dkc100). All *seemed* to install fine. However, when I do a: >>> boot dkc100 from the SRM I get this error: ........ Loading /boot/loader Can't open file /boot/loader halted CPU 0 >>> When I come to think of it, in the install process I was never asked about a boot loader. Is this normal ? Does something manually have to be done to get it to boot ? Is the install process meant to load a boot loader ?
