Hi,

this is exactly the problem I expericed a few days ago. See my message
http://www.mail-archive.com/support@pfsense.com/msg01022.html

It could be that the /boot/loader.rc is corrupted. Please have a look at it
and, if appropriate, grep out the non-empty lines into a new loader.rc in
order to make it boot again.

Subject: [pfSense Support] Upgrade to 80.4 causes problems finding
kernel



Howdy pfSensers,

I've been running 0.70.8 just fine on a normal PC with 3Com NICs for months
now. I did the 0.80.4
Upgrade and rebooted the box and I get:

(bootloader loads fine, fives me the option of "F1 FreeBSD" and then duly
loads):

Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by probes, defaulting to disk0:

can't load 'kernel'

lsdev:
disk devices:
disk0: BIOS drive A:
disk1: BIOS drive C:

Hmm... booting from the Live CD (0.70.8) I am able to mount /dev/ad0s1a and
everything looks fine in the
filesystem. Kernel is there in /boot/kernel/kernel.gz and all that.

So I don't know what happened.

I am a Linux guy, so I don't enough to figure out what FreeBSD decided to
magically not find my drive
anymore. The Hardware must be okay, or else I wouldn't have been able to
mount it from the Live CD.

Any ideas?

Many thanks,

Christian
