Date: 10 Sep 1994 20:42:50 GMT Organization: Information Resources, UC Davis Lines: 42 Message-ID: <34t5oa$j4@mark.ucdavis.edu> NNTP-Posting-Host: syrinx.ucdavis.edu X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Hi. I noticed something rather interesting this morning when powering up my freebsd system. This system consists of a 486dx2/66, FreeBSD 1.1.5.1, and a Mitsumi double speed CDROM and interface. When booting normally, I get the following: Sep 10 13:01:09 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: version information is 10 D 10 Sep 10 13:01:09 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: Adjusted for newer drive model Sep 10 13:01:09 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0 at 0x300-0x303 irq 10 on isa My /etc/fstab then mounts the current disc, which is the FreeBSD 1.1 CD, ISO-9660/Rockridge. After loggin in as root, I sync and then fastboot. During the next boot cycle, I get the following: Sep 10 13:19:04 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: version information is 10 D 10 Sep 10 13:19:04 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: Adjusted for newer drive model Sep 10 13:19:04 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0 at 0x300-0x303 irq 10 on isa Then the fsck skips due to the fastboot, then I get the following error, presumably when it tries to mount the cd: Sep 10 13:19:04 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: mcd_volinfo: error read data Sep 10 13:19:04 mindslayer /386bsd: mcd0: failed to get disk size This happens every time I do a fastboot, and requires me to manually remount the disk. Is this a problem, or is it normal behavior? Thanks. -Chris '"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'"'" Chris Lambertus |InterNet:cmlambertus@ucdavis.edu Systems Administration |Phone:(916)752-6547 (Shared phone) 78 Hutchison Hall |Irc Support/Administration University of California, Davis |X Windows Support/Administration
