Hi
I am using FreeBSD 2.2.6 on a LAPTOP
a Olivetti Echos P133E
I installed FreeBSD 2.2.6 flawlessly
but when I rebooted the machine it refused to boot FreeBSD
saying READ ERROR
I had set the partition to Bootable during the install process
and I can boot the machine using the boot floppy and specifying
wd(0,a)kernel , the machine then boots without any problems.
Can anyone tell me what to do , in order to boot it normally ?
I have only FreeBSD on this machine , and the disk is dedicated to it
using
My root partition is 100MB ( not over 1024 Cylinders )
but I have only one slice when looking at it with Fdisk
this worked on my PENTIUM II machine which is also using IDE drive
( UDMA )
