Hi All, I wanted some more space to store the /usr/src tree, so I claimed the 300M d: back off my windows install for FreeBSD. I used /stand/sysinstall to create the partition and label it, but had to newfs it my self. The command I used was 'newfs -b 8192 -f1024 /dev/wd0s2e' It all looked fine, and I copied the src tree over onto it and rebooted just to check that it all worked. I now get this F1 DOS F2 FreeBSD F3 FreeBSD F3 empty partition can't find boot.config empty partition can't find boot.help wd(0,a)/kernel boot: I can't get it to boot at all. When I boot from a boot floppy my system is all there, but it won't boot by itsef. I've searched the emal archives, but not found an answer. Anyone got any ideas?
