can't load 'kernel'

[douglasfim]

I installed FreeBSD 8.1 - 8.2 - 9.0-RC2

all had the same error can't load 'kernel'

appears only an "OK"

OK lsdev
cd devices:
  disk0: BIOS drive C:
    disk0s1: NTFS/HPFS
    disk0s2: Linux swap
      disk0s3a: FFS
    disk0s5:  ext2fs
  disk1: BIOS drive D:
    disk1s1: ext2fs
  disk2: BIOS drive E:
    disk2s1: NTFS/HPFS
pxe devices:

already used the FreeBSD MBR and Lilo

FreeBSD is installed on disk0s3a: FFS

UFS2 partition

Just guessing!!! but, (If it works, maybe a fix in the freebsd-questions list
/boot/loader.conf
(rootdev="disk0s3a") )

boot /dev/disk0s3a/boot/kernel/kernel

boot /dev/disk0s3a/boot/kernel/kernel

OK boot /dev/disk0s3a/boot/kernel/kernel
can't find '/dev/disk0s3a/boot/kernel/kernel'
OK

the hard drive has 2TB, the first partition "disk0s1" has 1.5TB

I installed PC-BSD with ZFS and gave the same error.

Hi,

Had the same problem when upgraded from 8.2 to 9.0 using freebsd-update. For some strange reason after upgrade the /boot/loader.conf file had an entry:

kernel="GENERIC"

Just removed that and all was fine again.

boot GENERIC

That worked for me just fine. I had a crash on a 8.4 -> 9.1 freebsd-update. Hopefully I can resume and get this going correctly.
