I tried to install FreeBSD as described in 'FreeBSD handbook', but it
didn't work in the very beginning. The boot procedure (from the
boot.flp) hangs like this:
(cut...)
Boot:
dosdev= 0, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 2
Can't find /kernel
Seems the boot floppy is OK?
thanx in advance - Wojtek

Try writing the image to another floppy. Sounds like a dodgyQuote:> I tried to install FreeBSD as described in 'FreeBSD handbook', but it

If you have doubts about the floppy image itself, run "md5 boot.flp"
and compare the output with the md5 file in the floppies directory.
Of course you'll need md5 :)

cheers, J"org
Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)

How are you installing it: (DOS partition? ,disks?, straight from CD,
anon.FTP?) Obviously it can't find the bootup kernel.
Be as most explicit as possible so people can understand you needs best.
Hope I can help
:)

My problem is slightly different...
I get it to boot and install, then upon reboot it hangs on:
dosdev= 80, biosdrive = 0, unit = 0, maj = 0

This is as far as it erver gets... Any ideas?

1. Lamer Newbie Filesystem Question
I have a solaris 2.8 system, the / partition is too small, and I would
like to put /usr and /var their own partitions (its all one big
partition now). I've added a 2nd disk, made partitions/filesystems, and
everything is good so far. But now I'm not sure how to actually move the
files to the new partitions. I tried cp -Rp, but it ran into problems
with fifo's, /var/run and /usr/lib/32..... mv had the same problems. I
didn't find much info in the FAQ, sunhelp.org, google or the answerbook.
One thing I did find suggested using ufsdump to copy the files to a
tape, then restore them to the new partition. I don't have a tapedrive,
but I could borrow one. However, will ufsdump really work on just a
subdirectory on a partition? I thought it only worked on whole
filesystems.
Thanks for any pointers.
Ted
