I can mount the newly installed partitions from the fixit disk, so I know everything's there. But I can't boot directly. I have two IDE disks and a SCSI disk with FreeBSD installed on the SCSI disk. I try to boot hd(2,a)/kernel (via the boot prompt from the boot floppy) but all I get is: ERROR C:0 H:0 S:0 ERROR C:0 H:0 S:0 ERROR C:0 H:0 S:0 ... My system is: 486 DX/4 100 16MB RAM BusLogic 445 SCSI adapter (VLB) ATI Graphics Pro Turbo (VLB) 3COM 3c509 Mitsumi CDROM M$ Windows Sound System Any ideas? -- Tim Writer Tim.Writer@ftlsol.com FTL Solutions Inc.
