Problem: Freebsd login session to start with unwanted “FreeBSD Install menuâ€
Hi Friends,
I am a newbie whom using x64 version of FreeBSD 9.1-RC1 which was working fine till a corruption of /boot folder occurred.
After several unsuccessful reboots, I used my FreeBSD LiveCD for having a shell session which allowed me to manually mount the system, delete corrupted boot, download kernel.txz and base.txz from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/amd64/amd64/9.1-RC1/ and copying their /boot related files to / for populating a new /boot.
After that I ran "make kernel" from /usr/src for kernel rebuilding. When it’s done I retrieved LiveCD and rebooted the system and got:
I maybe wrong to think those above mismatches could be fixed without to reinstall the whole system but I think they might be fixed through some parameter settings within some configuration or init files involved in the boot and/or login processes or other pending task (like pending install) but I haven’t the needed knowledge for doing that without help.
So I need your advised help for booting no in “FreeBSD Install menu†but in a normal FreesBSD session with login and password, and having ttyv0…ttyv7 working normally.
Thanks

- FreeBSD Installer menu (Install - Shell - LiveCD) as default session on ttyv0 instead of normal login session
- ttyv1 (ALT-F2) unavailable
- ttyv2 (ALT-F3) displaying maintenance information by itself
- ttyv3 (ALT-F4) gave a direct access to my normal root session without login and password. X window and all system capabilities are available also
-ttyv4 … ttyv7 unavailable
