[grub #3] Grub reboots instead of boots

[sdb]

Reporter: address@hidden
Summary: Grub reboots instead of boots
Version: 0.93 binary distribution
Type: software bug

Message:
FreeBSD 4.7 for i386. Adaptex 2930CU, Quantum Atlas10k2 drive.   two other 
disks on the system, both IDE running windows ME (SCSI disk is hd2).  BSD 
occuipies the entire disk, installed with the bootmanager (and boots with it if 
the BIOS is set to boot from the SCSI drive).

copied the stage1 and stage2 files to a floppy using dd from the grub binary 
distribution. boots the floppy fine.

root (hd2,a)
grub reports FFS, etc. correctly
kernel /boot/loader
reports that loader loaded without problems.
boot

causes a system restart, return to bios, etc.

replacing 'kernel /boot/loader' with kernel /kernel results in the same 
process: grub reports a correctly loaded kernel, but grub executes a 'cold' 
boot.

I'm not sure how to determine the geometry of the scsi disk in a way that would 
be helpful to you, or if I am doing something wrong. I'd appreciate any 
suggestions.

Regards,
Scott
