No response to this on -stable. The actual error message is:
Disk error 0x1 (lba=0x7004c)
No /boot/loader
Also, on a whim I decided to try running /boot/loader. I got a
message saying that there was a syntax error on line 4, that it was
missing either a close paren or a close curly brace. It went by fast, and
I couldn't reproduce it. A quick examination of the sources by my boot
code inexpert eyes didn't reveal anything that looked relevant on any line
4's.

Subject: Re: CFT: boot patch for 4.x
I'm having a problem that isn't related to your patch, but that
I'm hoping you or someone can shed some light on. I installed 4-Stable
from the 7/6 snapshot onto some shiny new machines, and when I reboot them
I get an error:
See above.
then the boot: prompt comes up a couple of times, it finds the kerrnel and
boots anyway. I found this odd because there clearly IS a /boot/loader,
and I haven't changed anything in /boot at all. I did a make world today
and installed a custom kernel, no joy. I'm also getting the dreaded
top: nlist failed error.
I have the following for adapters:
ahc0: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0x2000-0x20ff mem
0xf4100000-0xf4100fff irq 19 at d
evice 12.0 on pci0
ahc0: aic7896/97 Wide Channel A, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
ahc1: <Adaptec aic7896/97 Ultra2 SCSI adapter> port 0x2400-0x24ff mem
0xf4101000-0xf4101fff irq 19 at d
evice 12.1 on pci0
ahc1: aic7896/97 Wide Channel B, SCSI Id=7, 16/255 SCBs
and this for disks:
da0 at ahc0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0
da0: <QUANTUM ATLAS_V__9_SCA 0200> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da0: 8755MB (17930694 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1116C)
da1 at ahc0 bus 0 target 1 lun 0
da1: <QUANTUM ATLAS_V__9_SCA 0200> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-3 device
da1: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 63, 16bit), Tagged Queueing
Enabled
da1: 8755MB (17930694 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1116C)
I did the install with dangerously dedicated disks, which I know John is
not a big fan of, but on the IBM SCSI drives I have in the other machines
I have no problems of this sort whatsoever. I suppose I could try the
install again with a real partition table, I just hate to waste all that
config time. :-/
Any help appreciated.
