Hi,
I just upgraded to the very latest snapshot(9.7. 1:50) on i386. Now my
system does not boot anymore. The only thing I get is:
Using drive 0, partition 3.
Loading...
[cursor sits here]
As I understand the boot process, the PBR boot loader has found /boot,
verified the magic number and handed control over to the code loaded
from /boot.
I already booted the latest bsd.rd via pxeboot and did the following:
# fdisk -u wd0
# mount /dev/wd0a /mnt
# /mnt/mdec/installboot -v /mnt/boot /usr/mdev/biosboot wd0
this did not change anything. Same symptoms as before. Next thing I'll
try is to boot normal bsd kernel via pxeboot and do installboot again
from there.
ok. Booting via pxeboot still works with
boot hd0a:/bsd
running installboot from there didn't help either.
Next thing I tried was a complete reinstall of the latest snapshot on an
alternate root via pxeboot.
Install worked find, booting from harddist still doesn't work. pxeboot
works fine.
There is something broken in latest snapshots /boot for sure. The system
is a ThinkPad T43p. I don't have a dmesg to provide at hand, sorry.
