errrrrr so, i allocated a chunk of this weekend for installing 2.0 on a second pair of ESDI drives, then to migrate the stuff off of my existing 1.1.5.1 box, and then maybe bring the old box up under 2.0. i lowlevel the drives (new controller), and make up a set of new boot disks from freebsd.cdrom.com:/pub/FreeBSD/2.0-RELEASE/floppies. grrrrr, there are some bad sectors on the drives, and the newfs's crap out. when i installed the 1.1.5.1 boxes, i was able to use bad144 to map them out. i understand that bad144 is not totally fixed for 2.0, but i was lead to beleive that if i was using the whole drive it might work. but i can't get a damn shell t sheck it out. grrrr. anyone have any ideas? please? while there is still some of the weekend left? BTW: the new install stuff looks really snazzy. i don't suppose someone can come up with an install floppy for those of us that are not afraid of scrolling, question/answer install scripts? -- [ Jim Mercer jim@reptiles.org +1 416 506-0654 ] [ Reptilian Research -- Longer Life through Colder Blood ] [ Never, ever forget to replace the toiletseat after use!!!
