I have tried to work with my 1.6G DOS partition ( which is my buffer between Linux and FreBSD ) and when I was doing cp /dos/FreeBSD/src/* . my system paniced and rebooted. When it came back up istead of starting normally it spawned /stand/sysinstall. I booted with boot.flp and fixit.flp and ran fsck on my bsd partition. fsck reported that it is damaged badly. Then I mounted my bsd partition manually and checked it out It looks OK exept full lost+found. rc scripts look OK. So I have to Q: 1. Why FreeBSD is not able work with large DOS/any (?) partition ? 2. How do I restore my FreeBSD ( without reinstalling ) how do I prevent it spawn /stand/sysinstall 3. What the hell happend? Help will be greatly appritiated. Alexander Indenbaum baum@actcom.co.il
