Please excuse my brevity from before.. as I was unsure if the message would go through or if it would even be read. I have 164LX board with a 533MHz cpu 256MB. Two IDE drives (dqa0 is a 2gb and dqa1 is an 8gb) an adaptec 2940 with an hp cdrw attached at dqa6. I've been running fbsd on this box since 4.0 came out, and the last time I saw this happen was when 4.1.1 came out. I've recently (yesterday) installed 4.3 (-release) from a CD. I've since rebuilt the kernel (-release) added ipfilter and some other things that I need. Rebooted the box, and the new kernel with ipfilter enabled was working. I then cvsup'd to -stable from (first) my own local cvsup server (from which I cvsup the 10+ other boxes all x86 though) and did the buildworld/kernel/installworld/mergemaster 'thing' upon doing a mergemaster it did complain that the file that I wanted to replace (i.e. MAKEDEV and all other 'Install' files) could not be replaced and would have to be merged by hand. After mergemaster was finished I checked in /var/tmp/temproot for the files that it said it could not install - only to find out that they had been. It also saw that I had replaced my current /dev/MAKEDEV and asked if I wanted to run cd /dev && /bin/sh MAKEDEV all .. which since I knew it should have been replaced; but the error said it wasn't.. I ran it. next cd /usr/src/release/sysinstall make clean && make && make install then I rebooted to this: CPU 0 booting Resetting I/O Busses.. (boot dqa1.1.0.11.0 -flags a) block 0 of dqa1.1.0.11.0 is a valid boot block reading 15 blocks from dqa1.1.0.11.0 bootstrap code read in base = 20000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at fff0000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code loading /boot/loader Can't open /boot/loader halted CPU 0 upon issuing a boot dqa1 the same thing happens, and boot dqa0 does what it should nothing ;) (I've been running -stable since it came out and I've not had a problem) I welcome any help or questions, and appreicate any time that anyone can spend on this.
