Hi,
Thanks for reading this email message.
My NetBSD system was still running on a Pentium 133MHz system and it was
Time to change the system to a faster one.
I changed the main board and the processor to a Pentium II 266MHz
But now the NetBSD system will not boot the kernel.
I do get the NetBSD message (I think that it reads the MBR)
but then it is unable to load netbsd file. The system then try's to
read a alterned boot file but that also gives IO INPUT/OUTPUT errors.
I think that the problem has to do with fact that the onboard IDE
controllers interpret the disk geometry in an other way.
My old system was a Pentium 133MHz (64Mb internal memory 4x 16Mb Simm) with
an Intel Baby-AT board also known as Zappa. The disks are IDE Western
Digital, one off them is a 1.2Gb and the other a 3.1Gb type.
My new system is a Pentium II 266MHz (64Mb internal memory 2x 32Mb Dimm)
Are there people out there that had similar problems and know of a way to
fix this problem ?
Jan
