Message-ID: <matrix.753754654@noc> Summary: FreeBSD hangs on boot! Keywords: IDE hangs Sender: usenet@news.unt.edu (UNT USENet Adminstrator) Organization: University of North Texas Date: Sat, 20 Nov 1993 00:17:34 GMT Lines: 17 I installed FreeBSD on a 386DX/33 with 20MB of RAM. I have 2 hard drives. A Conner 205MB and a Maxtor 345MB drive. Both of them are IDE drives. The 205 drive is master and the 345 is slave. I have installed 4K partitions on the 205 and 8K on the 345MB. When I boot the computer is hangs when mounting the root (/) partition. It just sits there. I can boot it in single user and and the type exit and let it boot into multi-user and it comes up. Boot from a warmboot or cold boot it will not boot multiuser. I need help please! An ideas? Thanks Byron -- Byron Goodman matrix@noc.unt.edu
