I have (had?) a 2.2.7 system from the CD on a Dell Latitude 486-100. The power supply became unplugged and it appears to have suspended or something similar when the batery died. So far, so good. However, when I got it power again and woke it up, it paniced saying a block on the disk was bad (a block with a large negative value, unsigned it would be way beyond the end of the disk). Then it tried to reboot and fails with the message: Can't find file boot.config Can't find file boot.help When I press return at the boot: prompt, I get: Can't find kernel I have never tried to make this machine sleep while using 2.2.7. 2.2.6 was destroyed in a similar manner on this machine when I closed the lid. Older versions of FreeBSD went to sleep with no problems. I had planned at some point of looking into the problem, but never had time to deal with the damage that might occur (maybe I've got the opportunity now :-). Can someone tell me what device to try to fsck to recover what I can (if I can recover anything)? This machine was configured with a single partition in ``dangerously dedicated'' mode. Booting with a rescue floppy (Sorry, no CD on this ancient beast) I could not find anything in /mnt2/dev which seemed to contain a filesystem. Is there a kernel or other config I missed relating to power management that says, ``don't clobber the filesystem when you go to sleep''? :-) Luckily, my last backup was made a couple of hours before the machine died, and I'm restoring to another machine as I write this.
