Hi there,
Ive just been monkeying around with version 8.0 trying to get it to boot on my old mini g4.
I think i've finally jumped through all the hoops to get it to boot from its one internal hd for the first time.
- partitioned with one hfs boot partition, one netbsd root partition, one gig swap, some (empty) free space.
-sysins, install to hd, use existing partitions.
-use pkgsrc to write hfs file system and copy ofwboot.xcf to : with hfsutils.
-reboot to of
-try boot hd:,\ofwboot.xcf freebsd
I get green text on a white ground and a never ending list of 'recursive panic' messages. What could be the cause of this?
Possible I screwed something up at the sysinst stage by removing some overlapping partitions? Between using pdisk to write the partitions and trying to install, some older partitions showed up that were blocking me from keeping everything exactly as it appeared.
Kevin.
