I have 2 internal 18GB SCSI Segate disks and 2 external SCSI HITACHI 140GB disks. now if I Remove the external disk cabinet, everything works and FreeBSD install and boot from the internal disks. After installation if I add the external cabinet with 2 SCSI-III disks at boot the system goes kernel panic since it cannot find root on /dev/da0a it is like if GEOM confuses the disk and the internal da0 and da1 disks are confused with the external disks which are called the same da0 and da1 like the internal disks, this is the problem. I checked the SCSI IDs and they are all ok, I renumbered the external SCSI ID disk in the cabinet. I Can see disk correctly with probe-scsi-all but on boot external disks are recognized as da0 and da1 like the internal disks and system is messed. anyone got this problem before ? thank you Rick On 8/15/11 11:03 PM, Peter Jeremy wrote: > On 2011-Aug-12 17:12:00 +0200, Riccardo Veraldi wrote: >> I have a Sun Blade 1000. >> I tried to install FreeBSD 8.2 from CDROM and installation goes straight. >> Installation exits and I got back to {0} OK prompt > If you have serial access, it might simplify debugging if you use > the serial port (with logging) and post exact errors and the steps > leading up to them. > >> is there a way to fix this ? >> >> The installation goes fine but the system won't boot > I haven't needed to try this on sparc but at least on i386, you can go > into sysinstall "expert mode" and rewrite the bootblocks at the disk > partition step without needing to repeat the complete installation - > "expert mode" enables a "commit now" button. > > In order to rule out hardware issues, did the Sun Blade 1000 work > before you tried to install FreeBSD?
