Subject:   FreeBSD 3.4 boot problems
Message-ID:  <3898AA65.525EF750@boolean.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
I installed FreeBSD 3.4-RELEASE over the net (using boot/kern floppies).
The install went fine, but I cannot get past the boot0 prompt:

	F1 FreeBSD

	Default: F1

This, I believe, is correct. I have FreeBSD installed on the first slice of my only
disk.  Howwever, any key press results in a long beep.  I've been searching the
Handbook/FAQ/Archives for a clue, but haven't found one yet.  Pointers?

Note: I can boot using a floppy and loading da(0,a)/kernel or da(0,a)/boot/loader.
I've attached output of system details below.

I cvsup'ed a copy of -STABLE, built and installed new mbr,boot0,boot1,loader,
and kernel. No change from above when using da0 mbr, boot blocks.

Here are some system details
