X-Mailer: Mozilla 4.0 [en] (WinNT; I) MIME-Version: 1.0 To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Can't boot from 'C' drive, why? X-Priority: 3 (Normal) Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I can not boot up from the 'C' drive any more. It use to work until I upgraded to 2.2. When I have the system board configured to use the 'C' drive first, I get a 'Read error'. The read error is happening because the system is going out to the floppy drive and I do not have a diskette in it. I can bootup under a floppy and then enter the sd(0,a)/kernel And this works fine. I have re-installed twice, tried disklabel. When I installed I choose to use the complete drive for FreeBSD. System configuration: Micron P166 48 meg memory Adaptec 2940 SCSI controller Drive 1 2.5gig Drive 2 1.5gig SYJET Drive 3 CDROM 10x Drive 4 CDROM 6x Anyone that can give my any help, thank you in advance.
