Hi All, I was trying to boot a system from the installation floppies, and after the kernel booted it dropped me out into a mountroot prompt. I am posative its not meant to do this, it should start sysinstall. I am not exactly sure what to do from here on, should i specify ufs:da0s1a...would that be the location of the memory disk? Anyways, just thought I would ask/mention it to see if its me doing something odd or whether the disk needs some attention. Thanks in advance, Alex J Burke.

Otherwise, this would indicate that the nasty ATA bugs are on 6.0 still. I have (on 5.4-stable) to try a boot several times until the kernel properly recognizes my drive, and it dumps me in the mount root prompt when it doesn't. mkb.
