>Description:
When using dosboot.com with ufs mode, I am unable to boot from the primary slave ide where netbsd 11 is installed. I am also unable to boot from the floppy used to install netbsd.
Booting the kernel with dos boot from a dos partition works fine.
Steps:
enable interactive mode with -i
mode ufs
dev hd1:
boot returns
booting hd1a:netbsd
open <default>: No such file or directory
boot hd1a:netbsd: No such file or directory
ls / returns No such file or directory
Insert NetBSD floppy (boot1.fs)
dev fd0:
ls / returns no such file or directory
boot returns no such file or directory
system is 486dx4-100, IDE VLB controller, primary master IDE is 8 GB SD card to IDE adaptor, split in 4 2 GB partitions, managed by EZ-drive. primary slave is 2 GB compact flash drive. secondary master is 2 GB compact flash drive.
>How-To-Repeat:
keep trying to use ufs mode
>Fix:
n/a
