Hello I have an old box (3.6) which makes a lot of noise, so i like to virtualize it. I made an Image with acronis and converted it with vmware converter. When i start the virtual machine "Loading... ERR M" is shown. (dmesg at the bottom)
I loaded cd36.iso as cdrom and at the boot prompt tried the following: > machine boot hd0b -> ERR M > boot hd0a:/bsd -> Invalid argument failed(22). will try /bsd also with hd0b, hd0c if i boot with the cd, select shell and run the following # mount /dev/sd0c /mnt i get "Inappropriate filetype or format". also with /dev/sd0a - d If i run # cp /usr/mdec/boot /boot # /usr/mdec/installboot -v /boot /usr/mdec/biosboot sd0 i get the following output: -----------------8<---------------------- boot: /boot proto: /usr/mdec/biosboot device: /dev/rsd0c /usr/mdec/biosboot: entry point 0 proto bootblock size 512 installboot: cross-device install -----------------8<---------------------- but the error persists. Does anyone have an idea what i'm doing wrong? Other Openbsd machines which i installed from scratch to a virtual machine are running fine. Thank You Fabian Infos: 000000 Virtual machine running in VMWare Server 2 Beta Ubuntu 7.10 as Host New Box infos unfortunately only as pictures....
