Hello,
I have the following problem: my FreeBSD 2.0.5 system is unable to boot. I
have made no configuration changes prior to appearance of this problem.
Description: when I try to boot the boot stops at "changing root device to
wd1a". I am able to boot from a floppy. The only error message I get is
"rootfs is 1000Kbyte compiled in MFS". I then get in the install menu,
from which I mount the fixit floppy. I am able to mount root at that
point (mount /dev/wd1a /mnt).
Questions: 1. What does the error message mean?
2. How do I get my system to boot from my HD?
3. What could have caused this problem?
System: 486DX66, FreeBSD 2.0.5
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
