I just finished installing this brand new -CURRENT box. I haven't been on -CURRENt for a while, and thought about having a peek at 5.x. After installing the machine, it boots up fine for a while, but then something strange happends. I have not yet been able to determine WHY it happends, much less do I know WHAT exactly happends. I hope you can help. The only thing I did was to update my 5.1 install to the latest -CURRENT. I assume the make world somehow also does something to update the bootloader, or is this where I went wrong ? Please read on: I installed the Bootloader for my dualboot machine, and when it comes up during boot: F1 ?? F2 FreeBSD and I press F2, it autmatically reboots again. Please note it DID work yesterday, but somehow my laptops keeps booting on my now. (-CURRENT ? why?) I am dualbooting with WinXP, and I initially grabbed the first 512bytes from /dev/ad0s2c and dumped them on the XP disk, using the NTLoader to boot FreeBSD for me. This too worked untill _something_ happened and selecting FreeBSD caused the machine to spontaniously reboot too. Since this happends even before any real kernels are loaded, I cannot produce any debug output, so any hints on resolving this issue would be greatly appreciated. Please copy me in on any replies, as I am not yet on -current. I will once this problem is fixed :) /Stephan -- Stephan van Beerschoten [SVB21-RIPE] stephanb_at_whacky.net PGP fingerprint: 4557 9761 B212 FB4C 778D 3529 C42A 2D27 "To err is human, to forgive is Not Company Policy"Received on Wed Aug 06 2003 - 05:52:32 UTC
