Im attempting to install 2.2.7 from the CD's. I get through the installation fine, until it boots and tries to mount the root partition. I get these messages on boot with the -v flag: npx0:flags 0x1 on motherboard npx0:INT 16 interface apm0:disabled, not probed imasks: bio c008c040, tty c007049a, net c007049a BIOS Geometries 0:03ff0f3e 0..1023=1024 cylinders, 0..15=16 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 1:03fefe3f 0..1022=1023 cylinders, 0..254=255 heads, 1..63=63 sectors 0 accounted for Device configuration finished new masks: bio c008c040, tty c007049a, net c007049a Considering FFS root f/s wd0s1: type 0x6, start=63, end=3068414, size=3068352 : OK wd0s2: type 0x5, start=3068415, end=8691164, size=5622750 : OK wd0s3: type 0x7, start=8691165, end=16498754, size=7807590 : OK wd0s5: type 0x6, start=3068478, end=5927984, size=2859507 : OK wd0: type 0x5, start=5927985, end=8691164, size=2763180 : OK wd0s6: type 0x6, start=5928048, end=8691164, size=2763117 : OK panic: cannot mount root syncing disks:... done Then the system reboots. At first I thought it was because I had LBA turned off in the BIOS, but once I'd turned that off, and re-installed (re-making the f/s) it happened again. I am trying to install on a Cyrix 200M2 with 64Mb SDRAM, 24x Panasonic CDROM (primary slave), LS-120 Floptical (secondary slave), an 8.4Gb Quantum (primary master) and a 2.1Gb drive (secondary master). I'm trying to install onto the 2.1Gig drive. I'm booting from the floptical using a 1.44 Mb floppy for the install and then changing the boot drive to the 2.1 G drive for using FBSD. I don't want to install the FBSD boot manager as I have NT on the 8.4G and I need to keep that there, and I prefer the NT boot loader. Please help. I've no idea what could be causing this. Please reply to me directly as well as to the list, as I'm not subscribed for the reason of keeping my phone bill small. :) HAND. - -Taff   E: taff@uk.aiesec.org M: +44 (0) 956 548902 -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: PGPfreeware 5.5.3i for non-commercial use iQEVAwUBNiiri/Dq3vIIMOAdAQFguQf/e8QlWy51ijoguM/wRXloER/HI2KIfr9s BrjhABkW+/gsY5YG/jCTVjLk2mODLEeIAK50/EbbD1rokLrCww+4CSKirDXNzkWv x5KyuvWgFR3J9SpdH9DUWP23luIWRXw/QYQl3wbXjnVhaq/i8Ma18fW04EoWUfBi 6WEJyNoiLGdcR+7VbbA35tU8/jbiXxlZPFN0xkmsHHRZg5kGRDEzLxW//4yjddyj vAAhpbersxqdf2O4+mCHofTxi9qfPVq9GhB/BGd06uhPSK2q6Kd3wsnjoWimr+BK 0ceh7M8txnOPBSumNYiDnO7dBmK4O2TJIascDOJUhPH7IdklUREKrQ== =xEK3 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
