hi there,
is it still possible to boot a kernel directly from stage 1 and 2 and thus
bypass loader(8)? this is my disk layout:
=> 34 488394988 ada0 GPT (233G) [CORRUPT]
34 128 1 freebsd-boot (64K)
162 16777216 2 freebsd-swap (8.0G)
16777378 471617644 3 freebsd-ufs (225G)
=> 34 1953525101 ada1 GPT (932G)
34 20971520 1 freebsd-swap (10G)
20971554 4194304 2 freebsd-ufs (2.0G)
25165858 1928359277 3 freebsd-ufs (920G)
my /boot.conf contains:
0:ad(0p3)/boot/kernel/kernel
but that won't work. i get some numbers and then it says:
btx halted or something like that.
but i can give you the exact message if you need it.
cheers.
alex
