2.2.5 ... 166 K6 (I586 ... ?). i have 2 HD's. primary #1 has a mini DOS partition, and i want to put "/" on it also. i want /usr, /var, and swap on primary #2. however, when i boot, i get the errors (custom install of bin only): modload: exec(/usr/bin/ld) no such file msdos vfsload (msdos) operation not permitted i end up at a single user prompt. it has something to do with the line "mount -a -t nonfs" in /etc/rc. fstab appears ok. i have no problems when all partitions are on the same drive, or when i stick BSD completely on a second drive. i can say "mount /usr", etc, at the prompt, and the partitions mount just fine. but i cannot say "mount -a" (errors as above). ------------------------------------------------- i also had problems getting rid of a Boot: F1 F2 F5 prompt. i don't know if this is related to the problem above. i dedicate ALL of the second disk to BSD, double checked my geometry, and tried not to choose and MBR on the second disk (whether or not i got to choose seemed to vary from install to install - sometimes i could choose, somethimes not.) anyway, no matter what options i used, i couldn't get rid of the same F1 F2 F5. F5 would hang with "no bootable partition" or some such thing, though F1 and F2 work as expected. ------------------------------------------------- FingerPrint BA09868C 1B995204 58410FD3 A5E7B2DA ------------------------------------------------- ______________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com
