FreeBSD won't boot after mounting root partition on OpenBSD
Hi all,
This is regarding a system that is dual booting FreeBSD and OpenBSD. I have encountered a serious problem in which after mounting the root partition of my FreeBSD installation on OpenBSD (by accident), FreeBSD would not boot. What I remembered doing in OpenBSD was trying to mount my usb partition (sd1i). I instead mounted sd0i which was my FreeBSD root partition and then I unmounted it. These where the commands on OpenBSD that I issued while doing that: % # mount /dev/sd0i /mnt % # cp –rf /mnt/ Pressed tab… Saw the directory contents and realised that I mounted the wrong partition… % # umount /dev/sd0i And then mounted sd1i…. After that, I then tried to reboot to FreeBSD but the computer kept freezing up on this screen: https://imagizer.imageshack.us/v2/51...0/853/q2z9.jpg I have a feeling /boot/boot1 is the one that hanged but I'm not sure why and how to fix it. For dual booting, I am using FreeBSD’s /boot/boot0 boot manager. The reason why I suspect mounting sd0i on OpenBSD to be the cause of the problem is because that was the operation I did to sd0i and that I was able to boot into FreeBSD previously before I booted into OpenBSD. I also don’t remember doing any operations involving partitions the last time I was on FreeBSD. I tried googling for solutions to this but can’t find anyone with the same problem. Something details that may be relevant: FreeBSD 9.2 (generic kernel) OpenBSD 5.4 (generic kernel) ThinkPad T61 with a Seagate Momentus 5400.6 hard drive Help would be appreciated. Thanks.
