Here's some more info on the problem that at least two of us (one with IDE and one with SCSI) are having. 1. The 0322 SNAP fixit disk can mount the /dev/sd0a produced by the 04 install process. Every thing seems fine, but I'm not sure what I should look for (if anything). In desperation, I copied the 0322 kernel off of the fixit disk and rebooted. No luck! (but then I didn't expect it to work) Just a reboot cycle with nothing useful. 2. During the 04 install process I watched the stdout/stderr output to the second vt. The only unusual thing I noticed was during newfs. newfs prints out 'calculated sectors per cyl 4096 disagrees with disklabel (2046)'. I'm not sure what to make of that. If some one can point me to a 0412 based fixit disk, I can try that and see what I can find. At this point, I've exhausted all the ideas I have to figure this out. Any and all ideas appreciated. ---------------------------------------------------------------- Bill Arbaugh "Waste of time is the most waarbau@super.org extravagant of all expenses" waa@dsl.cis.upenn.edu -Theophrastus ----------------------------------------------------------------
