The first problem I encountered was the system detected a digital electronics twited pair ethernet card and stated that it was not connected. I had an easy fix for this problem, just make a connection to the ethernet card. Later on I noticed if I had chosen to install in single user mode or without acpi with no connection to the ethernet card that problem was no longer reported and the boot up process would continue until at the point it would report it reports: /stand/sysinstall running as init on vry0. At this point it stops and spins up the cdrom for a few seconds and that is it. This behaviour occurs on both the 6.1 Beta1 and 6.1 Beta4 releases. >How-To-Repeat: Attempt to install 6.1 Beta1 or 6.1 Beta4 >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
