Now that I've reinstalled, and changed the boot drive, I'm at a loss. When booting off of /dev/wd1, the boot process stops right after the first prompt, and scrolls this error repeatedly up the screen. If I enter "wd(1,a)kernel" at the first prompt, the machine boots perfectly. Did I make a mistake in the installation process, or is this a bug? I know the mailing lists are full of questions such as these, but I can't find an answer browsing the lists, or through the FAQ/Handbook combo. Ideas appreciated. -- mat. +-Matthew Stein-------------------------------------------- matt@bdd.net-+ | Concept Development phone: +1 519 823-8577 | | ButtonDown Digital fax: +1 519 823-9556 | +------------------------------------------------------------------------+
