(I sent this question to questions@freebsd.org also, but I guess it's better placed here) I'm trying to install FreeBSD-4.4/Alpha on an older Multia-System. (booting from the 2 disk as the machine has no cd-rom attached) The Multia has a monitor, keyboard and mouse attached to it, but after booting the kernel I get the message "/stand/sysinstall running as init on serial console" (or so) and a menu where i can select from 5 different terminal-emulations. As I do not have a console cable I cannot use the console. Is there a way, I can force sysinstall to use the graphical console? -P or -h did not show any effect at all (-P was an unknown option?) Any hints, what I have to do to get sysinstall fetching the right console? -- Hrvoje Husic ________________________________________________________________ Lotto online tippen!
