I have FreeBSD 8 running on WRAP and ALIX boards. LBA support for ALIX is broken in older versions of the BIOS. For LBA to work you need BIOS v0.99h. What problems are you seeing?

PC Engines WRAP.1C/1D/1E v1.11 640 KB Base Memory 130048 KB Extended Memory Looking at your geometry, I would recommend verifing that the BIOS is set for LBA mode (not CHS). If you change mode, you will probably need to reinstall FreeBSD.

Thanks for your input, I seems NanoBSD specific, while I have been trying different disk geometrics and multiple cf-cards on NanoBSD I was not succesfull yet. With TinyBSD and mfsBSD I am able to create bootable images, for WRAP 1C and 2E. If I find a solution for NanoBSD, I 'll post it, thanks, Marten -- http://www.voedselbankleiden.nl needs your help! http://martenvijn.nl http://bsd.wifisoft.org/nek/ http://opencommunitycamp.org OCC 2010 _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@... mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscribe@..."
