If I subsequently reboot the installation CD, take the <shell> option in the install program, and use the disklabel program, first with '-w', and then with '-B', and then reboot (after removing the CD), the system boots, but not correctly (at least not as I would expect) because the "boot:" prompt apppears. >How-To-Repeat: >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-amd64@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-amd64 To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-amd64-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
