Hi folks,
I've happily been experimenting with PicoBSD for several months now,
modifying the 'net' configuration, making custom configurations, etc., all
without problems. Recently, however, I'm encountering odd boot errors that
I can't seem to track down. I CVSup'ed the latest 3.1-STABLE sources and
ran the 'build' script as per the instructions; everything compiles and
crunches correctly, picobsd.bin is written to floppy... but when I then try
to boot the floppy I consistently get the following error:
Loading kernel. Please wait...
/kernel text=0xc379c
elf_loadexec: archsw.readin failed
can't load 'kernel'
Error booting
This happens with both a modified 'net' configuration as well as with the
stock 'router' configuration. The boot blocks and boot loader seem to work
as usual (I get the usual loader messages, the BootFORTH menu, etc.) but
the boot loader apparently can't read in the kernel properly.
I've tried multiple machines and multiple disks, but the problem remains -
so presumably this isn't simply a hardware read error. Does the problem
sound familiar to anyone? Am I (most likely) missing something obvious?
Thanks!
- Hoss
