Trying to load 5.0 via headless install onto an IBM ThinkPad 765D (D for damm) Using these instructions. http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-advanc ed.html Pretty simple always nice But after booting the IBM get to /boot.config /boot/loader -h BTX Loader 1.0 BTX Version is 1.01 And stays there - Forever The mothership I use the following command # cu -l /dev/cuaa0 as root And it say's connected but I cannot do a CTRL C after it does nothing for 30 minutes or so and I want to end it. I end up rebooting to stop it. Using real null modem cables<G> And I have redid 4 floppies, making sure my media is good, tested another pair of cables to make sure nothing changes and of course nothing does. So I am fully aware of the 5.0 pitfalls and I am only trying to load and test it on the laptop but if anyone has some helpful hints other than cables, disks mojo<g> I would very much appreciate it.
