We are trying to install the 2.1 CDROM release on a SAG Pentium (Triton motherboard) 133 Mhz, 16MB with the following hardware: Adaptec AHA2940W Sony CDU-76S SCSI-2 CD-ROM Segate ST15150W SCSI-2 hard drive SMC9332DST 10/100MB PCI Adapter Diamond Stealth 64 Sound Blaster AWE 32 sound card During the boot we notice that the probe for CD-ROM drive the following is reported: UNIT ATTENTION asc:28,0 not ready to ready transition: medium may have changed Then, if we proceed with the installation, we can get into the installation menu system and configure the FreeBSD partitions. When we continue with the installation, we get a kernel panic when the installation trys to start loading from the CD-ROM. The amusing panic is: "Going nowhere without my init!" which appears to be from kern/kern_exit.c Thanks, Kurt Vangsness AT&T Bell Laboratories - Naperville, Il kav@ihlpf.ih.att.com P.S. I noticed that there doesn't appear to be a way to look at the kernel boot probe messages from the installation menu anymore. I remember that an older version allowed you to do that and I found it very useful in cases such as this problem. Is it still there but just hidden somehow?
