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): ----------------8<-----------------8<----------------- >> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 639/3072 k of memory Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed Usage: [[fd(0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv] Use ? for file list or press Enter fo details Boot: -c Booting fd(0,a)/kernel @ 0x20c000 text=0xfc000 data=0x0 bss=0xa00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x27c+0x4+0x1fb] total=0x30947f entry point=0x20c000 Uncompressing kernel...done Booting the kernelel...done /* following text in high video */ BIOS basemem (639K) != RTC basemem (640K) Copyright (c) 1982, 1986, 1989, 1991, 1993 The Regents of the University of California.
