I disable all the devices I dont have using the visual kernel configuration and the kernel seems to boot fine, finding all my devices. It then prints the message: Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0c and hangs. The previous message was the detection of my CDROM. I'm using the 2.88 MB boot.flp. I can boot using a 3.4 boot floppy and get the installer to install 4.0 and everything goes OK until it comes to running MAKEDEV where sh exits with unknown syscall. I assume this is because the installer is running the sh it just installed (the 4.0 sh) on a 3 kernel. I can install 3.4 using the 3.4 installer OK but FreeBSD wont boot afterwards. After the line "Booting [kernel]" it prints the values of the registers to the screen and says "System Halted". It does this twice. I havent included a transcript but if it might help I will copy it out. On a probably unrelated matter, if I have the FPU switched on in the emulator with full optimisation FreeBSD says: npx0: error reporting broken; using 387 emulator but continues to boot. If I have standard optimisation on FreeBSD freezes after detecting npx0..the line about 16 somethings...switching the FPU off in the emulator solves all these problems. Any ideas?
