Well, I tried this... 1) booting from the boot disk with wd(2,a)/kernel gets into an infinite loop error (can't find device) Errox: ...0x82 2) I built my 8/14 kernel with: config kernel root on wd2 Then I put it on a dos disk and did: fbsdboot -r -D .\kernel and the kernel booted, and then paniced "can't mount root" Is there a way to configure a kernel so it doesn't automatically reboot after this panic (I don't have the time to copy the stuff it printed out). Doing ' ? ' at the boot prompt on the hard disk shows a good file list... I'm confused at wd1 and wd2...when booting up, the kernel messages says: wd0 (one type of disk) wd2 (another type of disk) but at the kernel boot line I have to do: wd(1,a)/kernel On a non-LBA disk, what I did was made a very small root partition on the first drive (under 528 MB) and mode of the bsd stuff is on the second drive: leisner@compaq.home;df Filesystem 1024-blocks Used Available Capacity Mounted on /dev/wd0a 34059 13843 17492 44% / /dev/wd1s4e 138463 75759 51627 59% /usr /dev/wd1s4f 138711 56146 71469 44% /usr/local procfs 4 4 0 100% /proc I may stick the release on disk1...its a relatively clean system running a combination of OS2s/win95/linux with space and partitions...but shouldn't I be able to boot cleanly off another ide disk? -- marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com Member of the League for Programming Freedom
