However I have a small problem when booting the box, take a look on the following. -- dmesg start -- da0 at isp0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: Serial Number 194832740074 da0: 20.000MB/s transfers (10.000MHz, offset 8, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 4091MB (8380080 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 521C) Manual root filesystem specification: : Mount using filesystem eg. ufs:/dev/da0s1a ? List valid disk boot devices Abort manual input mountroot> Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0a da0: invalid primary partition table: no magic start_init: trying /sbin/init -- dmesg stop -- At the mountrot> prompt i hit enter for abort, and then the system sends me to a prompt where I have to choose a shell, hit enter for /bin/sh, and the CRTL D for abort and then the system boots. I have searched arount without finding any usefull hints - anybody knows what to do ? -- Gorm Jorgensen - Area51.DK GE d+ s: a- C+++ UB++++ P++ L+++ E--- W+++ N++ w--- O- M-- V-- P++ tv- G-- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
