So, I've installed freebsd on a compact flash card sucessfully in my laptop (or so it looks - sysinstall completes to /dev/ad4, copies everything, no errors, etc) with the regular harddisk removed (for safety, of course). Only it won't boot on the internet appliance when I stick the CF in there (that's it's only supported boot device). I get the F1 - Freebsd bootloader prompt, then nothing more. I let it sit for a good 10 min, just to be sure. It's a i386 compatible processor, and people have sucessfully run at least 3 flavors of linux on it, as well as win98 from what I can glean on the net. If I restart sysinstall, I can see the partition was written, but I can't mount it from a running bsd machine - "incorrect superblock", which I think has to do with the following (aka. all or dd partitions): I tried 'all three' modes of partition - "create", "all", and "DD". Each time sysinstall completes, each time F1 - freebsd, but nothing more. Used 'auto' on the label editor - the defaults seemed reasonable... Thoughts? Thanks, Steve
