Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Hello, I have successfully installed freebsd2.1.5 on my machine. But as i was running it for last few days i have noticed that the hard drive light(H.D.D Light) is always on whenever i am on the freebsd slice. I cant seem to figure out the reason for it. I am sharing a 1.06 gig drive between win95 and freebsd. I have put the freebsd slice within the first 1024cylindres as instructed by the installtion companion book that came with the CD from Walnut creek CDROm. Last night when i was running freebsd my pc suddenly rebooted itself. After that i dont get the login prompt anymore but instead i get just a root(#) prompt.Also during bootup just after probing for devices.. it tells me to run fsck and then give me the # prompt. I would really appreciate any enlightenment on this if possible. I really would like to get it solved and get freebsd up and running . Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated. Please except my advance thanks for all your suggestions/help. Sincerely, Sohel (sohel@southwind.net)
