Hello, I have the following problem: I had to upgrade a FreeBSD 4.3-RELEASE box to 4.5-STABLE. I did a "make buildworld" "make buildkernel" and "make installkernel". After the following reboot the machine came up with /stand/sysinstall The system was not set up by me: I found out that /sbin is linked to another partition: disk1s1a: Root Partition disk1s1e: Partition with sbin on it I tried to "set init_path=disk1s1e:/sbin/init" at the loader prompt but this does not work at all. Because I only have a serial console and cannot access the machine physically I have to try it remotely. I do have to get it work. Here some Output from the boot screen: ----- START - before init_path set -------- Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <COMPAQ BB00921B91 3B07> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 8678MB (17773524 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) /stand/sysinstall running as init on serial console ----- END - before init_path set -------- ----- START - after init_path set -------- Mounting root from ufs:/dev/da0s1a da0 at sym0 bus 0 target 0 lun 0 da0: <COMPAQ BB00921B91 3B07> Fixed Direct Access SCSI-2 device da0: 80.000MB/s transfers (40.000MHz, offset 15, 16bit), Tagged Queueing Enabled da0: 8678MB (17773524 512 byte sectors: 255H 63S/T 1106C) init: not found in path disk1s1e:/sbin/init panic: no init ----- END - after init_path set -------- If I try an "ls disk1s1e:/sbin" at the loader prompt I get the correct entries of the /sbin directory including "init"-program. It would be great if someone could help me with this problem.
