whenever i boot from my self-created bootable usb-stick, it fails with the following error from boot2: --------------------------------------------- Invalid label Invalid label No /boot/loader FreeBSD/i386 boot Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel Invalid Label No /boot/kernel/kernel --------------------------------------------- i also tried the paths 0:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel 0:ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel without success. hardware used: (FreeBSD 6.1-RELEASE): Motherboard: GigaByte GA-8SIMLP Flash-Disk0: Kingston Data Traveler 2.0 256MB Flash-Disk1: Corsair Water-Resist Flash 512MB created a bootable usb-drive using: fdisk -BI /dev/da0 bsdlabel -w -B /dev/da0s1 newfs -m 0 -o space -n /dev/da0s1a then i installed the base-package and the GENERIC kernel into /dev/da0s1a, and ensured that the kernel is really to be found at /boot/kernel/kernel. i also tried this with the same errors: bsdlabel -w -B /dev/da0 newfs -m 0 -o space -n /dev/da0a (os installation the same as above) i tried this with both usb-sticks, both of them fail. trying them on a HP-Server works perfectly to the root- login. the bios supports booting from: USB-FDD, USB-ZIP, USB-CDROM and USB-HDD. i tried all of them. also, i set the boot-priorities to only boot HDD-0 and removed all other drives. obviously, no success. btw, booting from a real hdd/cdrom works. any really smart ideas on this?
