"Hello:"
I'm working on a task of installing FreeBSD 4.8 or 4.9 on a Dell-mini
computer.
I'm getting an error at my CD boot of: "*BTX halted*"
OR,

******************************************************************************************

int=00000005 err=00000000 elf=000300206 eip=000000c1
.............etc..
ss:esp=ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff ff
BTX halted

I've tried version 4.9
mini<ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/4.9/>,
and I got the same error at boot..
P.S: I'm sure the CD is perfect; as I used it to install a FreeBSD of a VM
using VMware <http://www.VMware.com>; and it was successful!!!
My Source: FreeBSD Old
Releases<ftp://ftp-archive.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD-Archive/old-releases/i386/ISO-IMAGES/>;
Thanks in advance,
Khalid..
