I know I've chimed in on this topic before... Jamie, Have you tried making the boot floppies to load 4.1.1-R? Since it seems that setup from floppies allowed both NT and 98 to setup properly. Also, just for the purpose of setup you could swap out the LS-120 temporarily for a normal floppy, then after you have FreeBSD on the harddrive(s) you could reconfigure your kernel and replace the floppy with the LS-120. Just a thought... ----- Original Message ----- From: Jamie Bowden <ragnar@sysabend.org> Date: Monday, October 16, 2000 12:00 pm Subject: Re: K7V problem? <- Make sure DIMM is in slot 1 > On Mon, 16 Oct 2000, Jin Guojun wrote: > > :> ?NT's boot cd worked.
