Both on AMD64. The kernel messages come up on the serial console, however it stops at this point: md0: Preloaded image 4194304 bytes at 0xffffffff808e4ba0 ad0: 78533MB [159560/16/63] at ata0-master UDMA100 ATAPI_RESET time = 50us acd0: CDRW at ata1-master UDMA33 Mounting root from ufs:/dev/md0 Which is where I assume sysinstall should be coming up. I'm trying this method, by the way, only because I'm unable to convince the system to use my USB keyboard during installation, as I've previously asked about on the list. Does anyone have any suggestions? Sysinstall comes up normally if I do not use the serial console, however it is unusable due to the keyboard issue. Help?
