I have tried installing bsd onto the drive when | I have put the cable onto a regular ata/33 interface and it works just fine, but after I install it and then move it to an ata/100 in |terface, it asks me to mount something.. I have tried everything I | could think | of given what it tells me in the startup. It says the drive is being detected | at starup as "ad4", when I try to mount the root, it seems successful but then | puts me into single user mode and I can't mount the other partitions. Also the | raid uses a highpoint controller (some weird bios software), their website is: highpoint-tech.com This is not a problem of FreeBSD, nor is it "weird HPT bios software problem." The boot loader expects the root partition to be on ad4. Solution: Set in KT7 board bios: boot sequence: EXT/ATA, C, A During the ten second countdown to kernel loading, push any key other than enter. Upon showing a prompt, type: lsdev (look through each device and find the root partition) set currdev="disk4sxxxx" (depending on the location of your root partition) boot In the future, please search -questions archives first. In addition, please set currdev in /boot/loader.conf | | Thanks | >How-To-Repeat: | Install BSD 4.0 on a KT7/Raid machine. | >Fix: | | | >Release-Note: | >Audit-Trail: | >Unformatted: | | | To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org | with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message ------------------------- -- +------------------------------------------------------------------+ | keichii@peorth.iteration.net | keichii@bsdconspiracy.net | | http://peorth.iteration.net/~keichii | Yes, BSD is a conspiracy. | +------------------------------------------------------------------+ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-bugs" in the body of the message
