For a full clean install, I believe that bsdinstall should prompt about installing bootcode around here. I don't really understand from your procedure how bsdinstall was used; there might be some edge case where there is no prompt about bootcode.
2) Installed off the 9.0 CD, got it up and running, everything was good.3) Used csup (tag=.) to update the source tree as of 00:01 on 12/30. 4a) Built world - OK. 4b) Build kernel - OK. 4c) Ran mergemaster - OK. 4d) Installed kernel - OK. 5) On rebooting, the loader(??) claims to not be able to find a bootable partition - i.e. I get a screen that ends in "mountroot > ". Providing the presumptive value by hand returns "error 19".6) Boot using installation CD and use "gpart show" to double check device names and partitions; everything looks good.7) Try normal booting again, no go.This is my first time installing to a completely GPT partitioned system, and I have (obviously) failed to grok something. I checked src/UPDATING and found nothing which covered this.What have I bungled, and how do I fix it?
I think you should investigate the 'bootcode' subcommand of gpart(8). -Ben Kaduk _______________________________________________ freebsd-current@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-current To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-current-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
