Toshiba/x86 -- Cannot find boot.bin

I am trying to install Solaris 10 on a Toshiba Satellite A10 laptop, I insert CD 1, and it goes to Primary Boot, and then says "cannot find boot.bin". I tried to boot from the other 3 disks, but unsurprisingly, it did not work. I read every posts about "boot.bin" on here, but was not able to find anything that worked.
I looked in my BIOS but there isn't any settings that would change anything.
Thank you.

Hey,I have the same issue.
I got a installation DVD,but it reported "cannot find boot.bin".What can i do now?
I'm waiting for the answer,if you got it,tell me the correct method please.
Thank you for all your help.

Solaris 10 x86 b72 "Cannot find boot.bin" booting from SCSI.

Hello,
After several gyrations of installation attempts and dealing with early BIOS PnP issues, I've finally managed to get Solaris 10 x86 installed on an old dual P2 333Mhz system. So far the system is running flawlessly, but I'm still not able to boot directly off the SCSI disk. The primary boot handler is erroring out that it cannot find boot.bin.
I can boot fine off of the IDE CD drive and the floppy (currently pointed to autoboot into the SCSI disk as a workaround). But when I try to boot directly off the SCSI drive, I get the error from the Solaris boot manager that it "Cannot find boot.bin".
I have booted off the CD & Floppy and compared the /boot files from both the CD & floppy, but I cannot find any difference that would prevent the primary boot loader from finding boot.bin. I've even compared files to make sure they were not corrupt, and even force re-installed the boot handlers, and manually partioning, always with the same results. I've also tried both enabling and disabling the DOS >1G translation of the Adaptec SCSI BIOS with no change. I can't find any reason that the boot loader is not seeing boot.bin, or that the file is corrupt in any way (even after several wipe and install attempts).
My System is:
Supermicro P6DLS dual Pentium II 333MHz & 512MB RAM, w/ Adaptec 7880 SCSI-UW and IDE (whopping UltraDMA 33) interfaces.
CD/DVD reader is configured as the secondary master (moved from primary master in an attempt to fix boot problem)
HD is a 16GB UW SCSI disk.
(Other particulars ommited unless someone feels they are relevant to the boot process).
The system came to me with Windows 2000 installed and functioning. I also had Fedora Core 3 installed, both with no boot problems of the SCSI disk. (Although FC3 would not see the second processor even with the canned SMP kernel).
This system is intended to replace a Fedora Core 3 system to be a multi-purpose firewall gateway & proxy server and I'm really liking the performance I'm seeing with Solaris 10 on this system but would like it to be able to go through a normal boot process and not have to depend on a floppy as a boot device to get started.
Anyone have any ideas why the Solaris x86 boot loaders think that they cannot find boot.bin when the full /boot partion is intact?
TIA,
-Troy

I'm getting the same problem trying to install
Solaris 10 in VMware from DVD.
It brings up the Solaris Primary Boot Subsystem, so
it appears to be reading fine, but the only thing
that happens is I get the Cannot find boot.bin
error.Hmm, the "Cannot find boot.bin." message comes from the
CD/DVD's boot code, which is contained in the first 16 sectors
of the media.
The boot.bin file is supposed to be read from the Solaris UFS
slice, which starts at 512 byte block #5151360 (or 2048 byte
dvd sector #1287840). This a byte offset of ~2.6 GBytes.
Maybe an issue with your system's bios not being able to read
DVD media > 2GB, during DVD boot?
Or a problem with burning the DVD media? Maybe some
"smart" PC DVD burning software has decided only to record
the 2.6 GB ISO filesystem, and the 100 MB Solaris UFS
filesystem that follows the ISO filesystem is missing on the DVD?
Or a 2GB filesize issue while burning the DVD?
Do you have a pc / windows utility that can print some information
about the S10 DVD media, especially the size of that DVD?
Maybe your CD/DVD recording software?
The original S10 GA x86 DVD image has a size of 2732195840
bytes, or 1334080 2K DVD blocks.

Install cd won't boot: "Cannot find booted cdrom device"

I have sucessfully booted linux from CD when using systemrescuecd in order to make my partitions.
In searching I found this post and this one, both of which address similar issues but not exactly the same. The first is the most promising but provides no solutions.
Help would be appreciated.

I get the same error, but a slightly different setup leading to it.
My hda died, so I put a new drive in and I'm trying to install from scratch. Since I had linux on this box already, sda and sdb are a pair of 750G drives that I use in a RAID1 software mirror. So my physical devices are:

Obviously I can't copy and paste (this isn't a VM), so there may be some typos in there.
There are a couple things that seem strange to me:
1) [strike]I don't have a 122GB device in the system, why does sda claim 122942 MB?[/strike] That's my 160G PATA drive, interesting
2) Why is sdb listed twice?
3) [strike]Where is my other 750G drive? They're SATA, it's not like I got the jumpers wrong.[/strike] In my haste to install the new drive, I knocked one of the SATA power cables out... far too easy to do, that'd never happen with the older PATA-style power plugs
The unknown partition table on sdb is expected... I'm using the raw device for software RAID, not partitioned.
I'd try the USB flash drive route, but I don't have one and I need to get this server fixed today... for now, I'll try some older Arch CDs.

Cannot find boot device, cannot continue.

Im trying to install arch linux on my eeepc but im running into problems, i choose arch linux from the installer menu and then as it goes on it suddenly stops saying 'Cannot find boot device, cannot continue... Falling back to interactive prompt' and im pretty sure thats not meant to happen so what do i do?

I am getting this error as well using the archlinux-2009.02-core 64 bit iso image.
Same exact error
Something about a searching for SCSI sda device
Scanning boot...
Scanning cd...
Scannng USB...
'Cannot find boot device, cannot continue... Falling back to interactive prompt'
then I get a $ prompt, and cannot use keyboard, I have to manually push the power button to restart.

Cannot find boot record of WD Raptor on KT4

Hello forum, this is my first post.
I have been searching Google for a solution of my problem and found this forum. However, after searching this forum and reading quite a few threads I still could not find the solution. Here's my problem:
I have a brand new WD Raptor 74 GB connected to serial 1 as a single drive. The mainboard is KT4 Ultra BSR. I have built an array by pressing ctrl-f at bootup. The only option was stripe and I have set the array (array 1) as bootable. I went into BIOS and set the array as first in boot order. Conclusion, the BIOS seems to detect my array and so far so good.
I booted Win XP installation CD and pressed F6 to install the Promise drivers. I used the newest drivers which were downloaded from MSI yesterday. Installation detected my array so I created a new partition, formatted it and the installation program copied files to that partition. When copying was finished, the computer had to be restarted and it was supposed to boot from my harddrive where it copied the files. Now to the point of my problem: BIOS has detected my array and tried to boot, but it says that boot record could not be found! I don't know whether Windows installation has failed to create a boot record or BIOS could not detect the boot record.
I have checked the contents of C: by booting Win XP installation CD and gone into recovery mode. I would access C: and found the common files used for Windows bootup: boot.ini, ntldr, etc.
So the required files are in place, but either the boot record does not exist or BIOS cannot find it. I wonder if anyone could give me any suggestion about how to solve this problem. I want to make my SATA drive bootable.
Thanks in advance

I have a DVD and DVD-RW connected to IDE2. I had a Hitachi HDD connected to IDE1, but it was removed before I ran Windows installation. The reason is because I want my SATA drive to have C: while having a HDD connected would mean the partions on that drive would occupy the C and D partition letters. I planned to attach the Hitachi after Windows installation has completed. BIOS has no problem detected my array, but when trying to boot from the array, the boot record cannot be found eventhough I have run the Windows installation which I thought would create the MBR automatically.
Is there any way to make my array bootable? It has been boot-enabled in the SATA settings.

Windows XP Toshiba laptop cannot find airport express

Hi,
I'm experiencing the same problems (so i've read) many others have.
My Xp laptop cannot find the base station of airport express, while my macbook has no problems.
I've tried some of the possible solutions mentioned on this forum, but nothing seems to work for me.
- i can't fill in a correct ip adress in the airport aid program XP (don't know if this is important)
- and I don't know where i can find the "channel change" option on my xp laptop.
I have tried to change the channel to 1 at my macbook wich resulted in having to reinstall ax cause it also couldn't be found on my mac book after this change
Long story, but i hope someone can help me!
Kind regards,
Sonja.

Do you have access to the Airport Admin Utility? It should be Start ->Airport -> Airport Admin Utility.
If you have this, and it should be there is you have loaded the AX software, you will see the AX Base Station in the window. Click on it. You will be asked for a password: the default is "Public" (without the quotation marks). Once you have entered the program, you will see a series of tabs across the top of the page. The Airport Tab will give you access to the information that you need to change (e.g., channel, etc.).
Remember that some Toshiba Laptops have a physical switch that must be turned on in order for wireless to be used. Mine is just underneath the left-hand side at the front of the unit.
If you purchased your AX in Europe, then you can go all the way up to Channel 13 ... Channel 11 appears to be the maximum in North America.

Cannot find boot folder- HD not in list on utility

I have a macbook which started flashing the folder/question mark on bootup. Finally I was able to remove the CD in the drive and attempt to run disk utilities. The hard drive doesn't show up on the list, only the CDRW drive. I took the steps to reset the PRAM (?)- holding down option apple r p etc and got the second chime, attempt to boot, but nothing.
I'm not sure where to go from here. Any ideas? This is my best friend's computer, and they did not buy applecare.

You will need to reinstall OS X. You may be able to do the following:
How to Perform an Archive and Install
An Archive and Install will NOT erase your hard drive, but you must have sufficient free space for a second OS X installation which could be from 3-9 GBs depending upon the version of OS X and selected installation options. The free space requirement is over and above normal free space requirements which should be at least 6-10 GBs. Read all the linked references carefully before proceeding.
1. Be sure to use Disk Utility first to repair the disk before performing the Archive and Install.
Repairing the Hard Drive and Permissions
Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When the menu bar appears select Disk Utility from the Installer menu (Utilities menu for Tiger.) After DU loads select your hard drive entry (mfgr.'s ID and drive size) from the the left side list. In the DU status area you will see an entry for the S.M.A.R.T. status of the hard drive. If it does not say "Verified" then the hard drive is failing or failed. (SMART status is not reported on external Firewire or USB drives.) If the drive is "Verified" then select your OS X volume from the list on the left (sub-entry below the drive entry,) click on the First Aid tab, then click on the Repair Disk button. If DU reports any errors that have been fixed, then re-run Repair Disk until no errors are reported. If no errors are reported, then quit DU and return to the installer.
If DU reports errors it cannot fix, then you will need Disk Warrior (4.0 for Tiger) and/or TechTool Pro (4.5.2 for Tiger) to repair the drive. If you don't have either of them or if neither of them can fix the drive, then you will need to reformat the drive and reinstall OS X.
2. Do not proceed with an Archive and Install if DU reports errors it cannot fix. In that case use Disk Warrior and/or TechTool Pro to repair the hard drive. If neither can repair the drive, then you will have to erase the drive and reinstall from scratch.
3. Boot from your OS X Installer disc. After the installer loads select your language and click on the Continue button. When you reach the screen to select a destination drive click once on the destination drive then click on the Option button. Select the Archive and Install option. You have an option to preserve users and network preferences. Only select this option if you are sure you have no corrupted files in your user accounts. Otherwise leave this option unchecked. Click on the OK button and continue with the OS X Installation.
4. Upon completion of the Archive and Install you will have a Previous System Folder in the root directory. You should retain the PSF until you are sure you do not need to manually transfer any items from the PSF to your newly installed system.
5. After moving any items you want to keep from the PSF you should delete it. You can back it up if you prefer, but you must delete it from the hard drive.
6. You can now download a Combo Updater directly from Apple's download site to update your new system to the desired version as well as install any security or other updates. You can also do this using Software Update.

Lion Cannot Find Boot Disk

This morning my mac mini was hung when I found it, I could not do anything and it was unresponsive so I power cycled it. Now it posts to Mac OS X Utilities with the following options:
Restore From Time Machine Backup
Reinstall Mac OS X
Get Help Online
Disk Utility
The disk utility option gathers the following information when the application is initialized:
320.07 GB ST9320325ASG Media
disk0s2 (greyed)
SuperDrive (greyed)
disk1
Mac OS X Base System
"disk1" is locked and the SuperDrive is greyed because there's nothing in it. I can use the First Aid utility to verify "320.07 GB ST9320325ASG Media" as well as repair it, but disk0s2 is not mounted for some reason. I believe I need to mount this disk before I can boot from it or use any of the other options to restore my system to functionality, but I don't see how to complete this operation. Can someone kindly point me in the correct direction?

Have you tried clicking on the greyed out disk and seeing if the 'Mount' icon in the taskbar becomes active?

Cannot install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit

I recently installed Windows 7 64 bit on my macbook. I also installed Boot Camp 3.0.1 after Windows 7 installation, however, WiFi did not work. Therefore, I needed to upgrade to the latest Boot Camp 3.2. However, when I tried to install Boot Camp 3.2 upgrade for Windows 7 74 bit, I got an error message saying that I needed Boot Camp 3.1 installed first. I CANNOT find Boot Camp 3.1 upgrade for Windows 7 64 bit on Apple website at all. Can someone please help me on this? Is there a way to get the complete Boot Camp 3.2 package that can simply be installed on version 3.0.1??

here is the link to bootcamp 3.1 for windows 7 64 bit http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1336 .. and no there is no package that can be applied to the windows side to go from 3.0.1 to 3.2

TopLink workbench won't run (can't find "~1\bin\javaw.exe" error)

Hello,
I'm having a tough time getting the TopLink WorkBench to run on Windows XP. I'm trying to run TopLink WorkBench 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) Build 060118. I've also installed Oracle Application Server 10g Release 3 (10.1.3.0.0) which is working fine (other than the Toplink part). I've managed to get EJB's deployed and access them through RMI and WS.
When I run "workbench.cmd" I get the error
Windows cannot find `~1\bin\javaw.exe"
If I manually remove the setenv.cmd call and cutout all the fixpath bits, Toplink Workbench comes up fine (as far as I can tell), but I cannot connect to my Oracle databases. When I try to connect, I get "The class oracle.jdbc.OracleDriver was not found".
I've been told this is because my J2EE 1.5 environment is incompatible with standalone Toplink Workbench. Is this true? I have both J2EE 1.5 SDK installed as well as J2EE 1.4 SDK but not amount of rearranging the system CLASSPATH seems to make everything work. (I've restarted Workbench to make sure the new env vars take effect when I change them)
Is there a step by step document on getting this to work?
Thanks in advance,

SeLinux Checkpolicy install error ( /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lfl)

Should I be altering the makefile in anyway so that /usr/bin/ld can find -lfl ?

@Allan: The selinux-flex package is needed as part of the installation process.
Something tells me that this AUR package needs to be updated.
But yes, a solution appears to be to remove selinux-flex and install flex and then compile checkpolicy.

[solved] build failing: /usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lgd

I'm trying to satisfy crossover dependencies and recommendations. Found lib32-libgphoto2 on AUR with a few dependencies of its own, all of which I installed succesfully.
When doing a makepkg for lib32-libgphoto2 I get the following error:

In that blob of text it says 'skipping incompatible' so it found something but I don't know to fix that or find out what it needs. A search on the internet I found that the message (in title) means I'm missing 32-bit library for gd, so I pulled that from AUR and installed it, but its still giving me this message.
Any ideas what I need to do to get this to build?
Thanks in advance.

The linker tries to find libgd. so. If you build lib32-libgphoto2, I guess from the name that you are building a 32 bit package on a 64 bits installation. You should have the 32 bit version of libgd. so and you only have the 64 bit version (hence skipping incompatible /usr/lib/libgd.so). Note that I have not found this version in the multilib repository (nor on AUR), I think you will have to build it yourself.

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email but cannot find it on my hard drive or in recycle bin - it's in downloads but am unable to open from downloads - how can I recover the file?

I downloaded an Adobe file from my email (service provider is MWeb) but now cannot find it on my hard drive and it's not in the recycle bin. It does, however, appear in Firefox downloads but I'm unable to open it from there. How can I recover the file?

Thanks Rob.
I actually had no clue what the core problem was caused by. So it's Windows itself...that helps some.
I'll resubmit there. It might actually have saved time for it to simply have been moved to there instead of off-topic, though I suppose you have to follow protocol.
