Hi,
I have a 20gb harddisk with 3 primary partitions:
1st: DOS
2nd: Freebsd
3rd: reserved for linux
and an extended partition(which contains my windows
files)
Before installing linux.. I can see this at freebsd
boot manager menu
F1:DOS
F3:Freebsd
After installing linux and lilo..
F1:DOS
F2:Freebsd(F3 before)
F4:linux
I have successfully edited the boot.ini of windows and
be able to boot into it, same as with linux but.. when
I press F2 to boot into my freebsd.. it stops in the
middle of device detection process and it shows
Manual root filesystem specification
<fstype>:<device>
mountroot>
I tried typing ufs:/dev/ad0s1a but it still won't
boot..
What I did was to delete entire the linux installation
and the partition aloted to it
so now I can only see this at boot time:
F1:DOS
F2:Freebsd
Any idea what happened?
Do you know what should I type in the
mountroot> prompt?
