A quick question:
This weekend, I have decided to reinstall my Soekris net4801 since the 80GB
disk in it, after running continuously for almost 3 years now, has reported
a few read errors last week. So I promptly decided to replace the disk.
I didn't have another FreeBSD machine to build a new nanobsd configuration,
so I used the nanobsd package at
http://people.freebsd.org/~phk/nanobsd/soekris_4x26 to put on a 64MB flash
card that I had handy, and I added sysinstall to it.
This boots fine, and allows me to run the installation properly.
However, the resulting system will not boot from the disk, since I cannot
figure the right geometry for the Fujitsu MVH2060AT 60GB drive. The
documentation says the drive reports 16383/16/63, the Soekris boot screen
reports "Xlt 1024-255-63", fdisk recommends "7296/255/63" because it claims
not to like the "116280-16-63" that it finds on the disk... Sigh. Bottom
line is that the installation appears to work, but I am unable to then boot
from the harddisk (the boot loader complains it cannot find /boot/loader).
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Denis F.
