Steinauer) Organization: University of Colorado, Boulder Lines: 22 Nntp-Posting-Host: siegel.colorado.edu Help!!!!... I'm having a serious problem... I'm trying to configure TCP/IP networking as well as nfs into a new kernel... Each time I do a 'newconfig bnet' and then reboot it barfs. It gives me a 'panic: no root file system'. A 'esch -vfbs' at the startup prompt fixes the bootup problem but it replaces the new /unix file with the old one therefore removing my kernel changes... If I don't use the '-b' option to esch I get the following error: esch: IOCTL() failed [Permission denied] in Bad Blocks mode. I'm not quite sure what the problem is but it is very important that I get TCP/IP up and running! Any help would be great!
