This sounds related to the "boot2" madness we went through about a week ago. There's too many threads to point you to, but as it stands now, things work. I can confirm that at one time there was a problem with the loader breaking (i.e. when boot2 loaded, it would quickly panic/spit out exceptions, then immediately reboot the machine), but that was taken care of as well. I would recommend rebuilding the bootblocks and re-applying them. In addition, reinstall the boot0 blocks as well, just to be safe. A quick walkthrough: # cd /usr/src/sys/boot # make clean # make # make install # disklabel -B <drive><slice> (i.e. "ad0s1") # boot0cfg -B <drive> (i.e. "ad0") -- | Jeremy Chadwick jdc at parodius.com | | Parodius Networking http://www.parodius.com/ | | UNIX Systems Administrator Mountain View, CA, USA | | Making life hard for others since 1977. | On Thu, Aug 12, 2004 at 09:11:56PM +0300, Petri Helenius wrote: > > I updated a machine with ABIT VP6 (dual S370) motherboard from -CURRENT > in May to recent -CURRENT and since then the boot crashes with a message > which is visible for only a fraction of a second until the BIOS message > shows again.
