I downloaded the boot.flp, kern1.flp and kern2.flp images and made floppies. Booted using the floppies and did the install off the burned iso images (the same ones I tried to boot with and caused the btx: halted). Installed clean. Now the machine is running 5.4-rel. thanks for all who tried to help. -Darryl > >Well, >I went and tried to look at the scrolling text. It had several > columsn with "in" "err" "ef1" "cip".

I have an old |IBM intellistation that does the same thing with 5.x. After I install |I get the BTX halted, but if I cold boot it after the message it |will boot. |It sounds like you get the BTX Halted error before you install, is that |correct? If I remember correctly, the ISO image from the web site |should have an MD5 hash. Have you compared the hash on the web site |with the hash of the ISOs you downloaded? |Bryan Yes, the BTX Halted error occurs prior to the install. I tried hard power reset after getting the message and it still occurrs. I verified the MD5 has and its clean. I am out of ideas. Is there a special way to burn the iso's in windows using Nero ? I followed the nero instructions for burning an ISO image disk. thanks, Darryl _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-questions-unsubscribe@freebsd.org"
