You don't have a primary partition table, but that's correct for alphas. > -- fstab start -- > cat /etc/fstab > # See the fstab(5) manual page for important information on automatic mounts > # of network filesystems before modifying this file. > # > # Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump > # Pass# > /dev/da0b none swap sw 0 0 > /dev/da0a / ufs rw 1 1 > /dev/acd0c /cdrom cd9660 ro,noauto 0 0 > proc /proc procfs rw 0 0 > -- fstab stop -- fstab looks good IMHO. > -- disklabel start -- > disklabel -r /dev/da0 > # /dev/da0: > type: SCSI > disk: da0 > label: > flags: > bytes/sector: 512 > sectors/track: 63 > tracks/cylinder: 255 > sectors/cylinder: 16065 > cylinders: 521 > sectors/unit: 8380080 > rpm: 3600 > interleave: 1 > trackskew: 0 > cylinderskew: 0 > headswitch: 0 # milliseconds > track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds > drivedata: 0 > > 8 partitions: > # size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg] > a: 8192000 0 4.2BSD 2048 16384 89 # (Cyl. 0 - 509*) > b: 188080 8192000 swap # (Cyl. 509*- 521*) > c: 8380080 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 521*) > -- disklabel stop -- disklabel looks good for me too. > > > I have got my fingers in a AlphaStation 500 and have installed FreeBSD 4.5. > > > However I have a small problem when booting the box, take a look on the > > > following. > > > > > > -- dmesg start -- > > > da0 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 > > > da0: <DEC RZ2CC-KA (C) DEC 5520> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device > > > da0: Serial Number 194832740074 > > > da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing > > > Enabled > > > da0: 4091MB (8380080 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 521C) > > > > > > Manual root filesystem specification: > > > <fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> > > > eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a > > > ?

That's the content on one of my 4.x installations: [53]srv1# ls -l /boot /boot/defaults /boot: total 1553 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 7400 Jan 20 00:36 boot1 -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 185888 Jan 20 00:36 cdboot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 184464 Nov 23 02:15 cdboot.old drwxr-xr-x 2 root wheel 512 Jan 20 00:36 defaults -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 186352 Jan 20 00:36 loader -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 9237 Jul 9 2000 loader.4th -rw-r--r-- 1 root wheel 28 Sep 5 2001 loader.conf -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 105984 Jan 20 00:36 loader.exe -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 10489 Jan 20 00:36 loader.help -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 186352 Nov 23 02:14 loader.old -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 338 Jul 9 2000 loader.rc -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 188512 Nov 21 20:48 loader.work -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 203600 Jan 20 00:36 netboot -r-xr-xr-x 1 root wheel 203600 Nov 23 02:15 netboot.old -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 25121 Jul 9 2000 support.4th /boot/defaults: total 11 -r--r--r-- 1 root wheel 10776 Jan 20 00:36 loader.conf -- B.Walter COSMO-Project http://www.cosmo-project.de ticso@cicely.de Usergroup info@cosmo-project.de To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
