I just bought the Power Pak (I know, things come a little later in Holland), and things are not going the way I'd want them to go. Installation goes fine, I get to set everything the way I want it, but when everything's installed, I'm sent back to the Main Installation Menu. The only choices there (in my opinion; Am I not looking good enough?) are to start a new installation together with the possibility to change some config, or to Exit Install. So I reasonably tend to choose the latter, when all install is done. When I do so, the system reboots, and nicely gives me the Boot Manager I asked for. When I select FreeBSD, the message "no ufs" appears, and I'm sent to the "boot: " prompt. Typing "-v" after the prompt will result in another no ufs no /kernel message. I own a 486 DX/4-100 with 16 Mb RAM, a Diamond Stealth 64 DRAM 2Mb, a 1.44M floppy drive, a Iomega ZIP100-drive, a genuine doublespeed Mitsumi CD-ROM drive attached to my Gravis UltraSound Classic (which is located at 220h) through address 360h. Windows 95 is installed, and works the way it is expected to work. I have a 3.2 Gb harddisk, divided by the Ontrack Disk Manager into a 2.1 Gb partition, a 850 Mb and a 250 Mb one. (DOS C:, D:, and E:) I used Partition Magic To Reduce C: (2.1 Gb) to 20 Mb, because Windows 95 is on my D: drive, and since the system boots from C:, it has to have the information on C:. So I now have about 2 Gb left between C: and D:, which Windows or DOS will not notice. The partition editor recognizes everything, so you'd think everything would go fine. Installing apparently goes well, but when rebooting, FreeBSD doesn't find the UFS filesystem. Do you have any thoughts on what's going on? sincerely, Jochem van Ommen Rivierstraat 188 Rotterdam 3016 CH - the Netherlands +31.10.4405.295 165866ho@student.eur.nl To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
