i have strange things happening when trying to run a freebsd install
from boot floppies on my vaio c1xd. the kern.flp will find a loader and
load the kernel, then ask me for the mfsroot.flp which also gets read in
without a problem (the floppy on the vaio is a y-e flashbuster usb
device which has boot support in the system bios for real mode).
then the kernel would start, but all that happens is, that the box locks
up. it is not dependent on the pcmcia card inserted and i disabled the
pnp os setting in bios. the lockup is hard, so i got to switch it off an
on again, keyboard is not resonding as a matter of fact, too.

the 4.2-RELEASE boot floppies work, btw.

any ideas how i can track this one down or if this happens with other
vaios as well?

i will try to boot the install cd when i got my burner at work so i can
create a boot cd later next week.

/k
