I seem to have shot myself in the foot. I ran cvsup, buildworld,
installworld, buildkernel, and installkernel yesterday on my laptop as
well as my desktop. The laptop will no longer boot FreeBSD; the
desktop is fine. The laptop shows:
F1 DOS
F2 FreeBSD
Default: F2
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keryboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 639kB/64448kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
([EMAIL PROTECTED], Mon Jul 24 14.53.22 EDT 2000)
Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key ofr command prompt.
Booting [kernel]...
can't load 'kernel'
can't load 'kernel.old'
ok ls
open '/' failed: no such file or directory
ok lsdev
disk @0x10738
disk0: BIOS drive A
disk1: BIOS drive C
pxe @ 0xe4dc
The machine boots up in W95.
The machine was running 4.0-Stable from a few weeks ago.
I have a script which runs the sequence of build/install steps; the
script on the laptop stopped because the laptop was running under a
different machine name than usual and so the script did not find the
kernel config file. I ran buildkernel and installkernel by hand for
my kernel config file and for GENERIC. I believe I followed the
UPDATING instructions (but something's not working, so I probably
missed something).
Any suggestions?
Thanks-
Russ Murphy
