It worked fine on an: Intel 440 BX chipset + 400MHz Celeron. It worked fine on an: ALiM1647 + ALiM1535D chipset + 1200 MHz AMD Thunderbird, on an Iwill motherboard. It booted OK on a Sony VAIO superslim Z505HS (500 MHz Celeron), using the external Sony CDROM, connected via Sony's PC-card interface. However, once the kernel finished booting, it went through 3 or 4 steps: Use PC-card device as installation media? Select an I/O address area Select an available IRQ Since it booted off of the CDROM, it seems like it ought to be able to offer the option of "get the distribution off of the boot media". (Of course, I can imagine several different reasons why this wouldn't work.) Other than that, the VAIO boot went fine, and I got to the sysinstall screen. - Glenn Trewitt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
