At first bot= h the floppies booted fine as it was detecting hardware a etc a full line of things not human readable scrolled by th= e screen at imense speed non stop until machine was manually powered down. Attempt#2 kern.flp laoded fine mkfsroot.flp starts booting Cannot load /mfsroot Load ACPI failed Of course since it didnt load /mfsroot ti asks for mountpoint to boot =46rom here on i recreated the floppy images again and i got the results as= step #2 over and over again unable to load mfsroot. The floppies were fine= and the images were copied correctly and md5 checkk summed. Finally i got = the mini install iso on a CD-RW and the machine booted into the install. Di= d anyone else face such trouble? Movie Playback seems relatively fine but for example when one would fast fo= rward or seek ahead with mplayer it takes a longer time to seek ahead and p= lay. A very noticable pause which never ever took place in 5.1 Release. Mov= ie playback was excelelnt under it. I am not using the wrong mplayer driver= s they are the same options as 5.1 so thats not an issue here, i have tried= alternate options too but all in vain. Are there any new kernel tunable op= tions for enhancing movie playback on an Intel and also for dvd-roms and cd= roms as my drives seem to make a lot more noise and the movie playback is n= o good. I get these messages if i play an avi through a cd ( the encoding i= s not buggy neither does mplayer complain, tested on 5.1 fbsd ran fine)=20 Jan 14 09:56:37 unixdaemon kernel: Warning: pid 4884 used static ldt alloca= tion.
