Hi!
I am completely new to FreeBSD and already have a problem :-)
It doesn't run on my machine !

It is the first piece of software, which makes troubles on that machine
(Linux up to 1.2.13, NetBSD 1.1, OS/2 2.1, 3.0 and lot of stuff under M$
work flawlessly). Motherboard is Intel Ninja (yes, with only 4 MB for now).
The rest does not matter, I believe.

So, what happens: FreeBSD 2.0.5 hangs after loading the kernel image (just
before starting it, i.e. before 'Uncompressing kernel' message).

FreeBSD 2.1.0 seems to be a bit better, but look at it:


This is a copy of screen made by hand (FreeBSD 2.1.0):

Do you guess what's rotten there ?


(If you know or have a tip, please send it to may address too.
I read news just occasionally and do not want to miss it ! :-)   )

thanx in advance,
