Date: 12 Jul 1996 22:31:18 GMT Organization: Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory Lines: 21 Message-ID: <4s6jnm$171@overload.lbl.gov> NNTP-Posting-Host: gracie.lbl.gov When I worked with 2.2-960612-SNAP kernel, sometime when the kernel panic (dump core is made), part of boot block is screwed up. F1 ... dos F2 ... BSD F3 ... BSD Default: F? Press F1 can boot to dos. Press F2, nothing happens, and press F3 machine hangs. Would some one please tell me which part of the boot block has been damaged? Is there any way to fix this damage, beside to reinstall the it again? Thanks for any information. -- /-------------- Jin Guojun ------------ v ---- Internet: g_jin@lbl.gov ----\ | Imaging & Distributed Computing | Usenet: ucbvax!g_jin@lbl.gov | | Lawrence Berkeley Laboratory | Bitnet: -- | | 50B-2239, Berkeley, CA 94720 - jin%george.lbl.gov@Csa3.LBL.Gov |
