Two PCI devices - a matrox millenium video adapter and a netgear network adapter - both in 32bit PCI slots. SRM console V5.6-2 I installed 4.0-RELEASE via ftp with no problems, except that "probing for devices" hung. After ctrl-C and resuming the installation everything seemed OK. When booting from the IDE drive I get: >>>boot dqa0 (boot dqa0.0.11.0 -flags 0) block 0 of dqa0.0.11.0 is a valid boot block reading 15 blocks from dqa0.0.11.0 bootstrap code read in base = 200000, image_start = 0, image_bytes = 1e00 initializing HWRPB at 2000 initializing page table at 7ff0000 initializing machine state setting affinity to the primary CPU jumping to bootstrap code Loading /boot/loader CPU0: insufficient dynamic memory for a request of -752906529 bytes ...followed by a bunch of system state dumps and a reboot back into the SRM. I'm a freebsd newbie (I've been running Linux on the box up until now), so I'm not familiar with the usual boot sequence. Anyone seen this before, or have any ideas what I should look at?
