Hello,
I have a Sun Blade 1000.
I tried to install FreeBSD 8.2 from CDROM and installation goes straight.
Installation exits and I got back to {0} OK prompt
the problem is that I cannot type anything at the prompt because the
{0} OK prompt look freezed
so I power-cycle the workstation and when it restarts it tries so boot
from CDROM.
STOP-A
then if I set
setenv boot-device disk0:a
or
setenv boot-device disk1:a (both disks does exist and they are 18GB segate)
the system can't boot and the error is that the boot loader
/boot/loader cannot be found
it looks like the loader is not installed or it is installed into
another path.
is there a way to fix this ?
The installation goes fine but the system won't boot
thank you very much
Rick
