I tried installing 6 or 7 times, each dying in one of 2 places. Failure type 1: VTY0: Information Dialog Loading root image from: ilsa:/usr2/FreeBDS/2.2-960130-SNAP VTY1: . stand [lines deleted] stand/df stand/cat stand/ls VTY3: Warning: This shell is chroot()'d to /mnt # Failure type 2: dies during install of bin files. Naturally, this happened often while trying to get the system running, but could not get past failure #1, above, once I was prepared to document the failure! My memory was: VTY0: Extracting bin into / 1 % VTY1: bin/chmod bin/cp bin/cat VTY3: [ nothing interesting, but "ls bin" showed csh as also being there ] --- I repeated this failure at least 3 times. An ls of dist hung, although mount showed the NFS file system as mounted. there didn't appear to be a 'ps' available at this point. I was able to install by doing an ftp install of the bin files, finishing the install, and then re-running the extract option of stand/sysinstall to get everything else via NFS. I tried all the usual things first: different boot floppy, different hard disk, even installed 2.1.0-RELEASE via NFS without problem. my dmesg: FreeBSD 2.2-960130-SNAP #0: Wed Jan 31 08:54:36 1996 jkh@time.cdrom.com:/usr/src/sys/compile/GENERIC CPU: i486 DX2 (486-class CPU) Origin = "GenuineIntel" Id = 0x435 Stepping=5 Features=0x3 real memory = 16777216 (16384K bytes) avail memory = 14667776 (14324K bytes) eisa0: Probing for devices on the EISA bus ahc0: at 0x1c00-0x1cff irq 11 on isa ahc0: aic7770 >= Rev E, Single Channel, SCSI Id=7, 4 SCBs ahc0 waiting for scsi devices to settle (ahc0:0:0): "MICROP 2217-15MQ1001901 HQ30" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd0(ahc0:0:0): Direct-Access 1685MB (3450902 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:1:0): "MICROP 2217-15MZ1001905 HQ30" type 0 fixed SCSI 2 sd1(ahc0:1:0): Direct-Access 1685MB (3450902 512 byte sectors) (ahc0:3:0): "PLEXTOR CD-ROM PX-6XCS 1.00" type 5 removable SCSI 2 cd0(ahc0:3:0): CD-ROM cd present [152345 x 2048 byte records] Probing for devices on the ISA bus: sc0 at 0x60-0x6f irq 1 on motherboard sc0: VGA color <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x0> ed0 at 0x280-0x29f irq 5 maddr 0xd8000 msize 8192 on isa ed0: address 00:00:c0:ac:7e:14, type WD8003E (8 bit) ed1 not probed due to maddr conflict with ed0 at 0xd8000 sio0 at 0x3f8-0x3ff irq 4 on isa sio0: type 16550A sio1 at 0x2f8-0x2ff irq 3 on isa sio1: type 16550A sio2 not found at 0x3e8 sio3 not found at 0x2e8 lpt0 at 0x378-0x37f irq 7 on isa lpt0: Interrupt-driven port lp0: TCP/IP capable interface lpt1 not found at 0xffffffff lpt2 not found at 0xffffffff fdc0 at 0x3f0-0x3f7 irq 6 drq 2 on isa fdc0: NEC 72065B fd0: 1.44MB 3.5in fd1: 1.2MB 5.25in wdc0 not found at 0x1f0 wdc1 not found at 0x170 bt0 not found at 0x330 uha0 not found at 0x330 aha0 not found at 0x330 aic0 not found at 0x340 nca0 not found at 0x1f88 nca1 not found at 0x350 sea0 not found wt0 not found at 0x300 mcd0 not found at 0x300 mcd1 not found at 0x340 matcdc0 not found at 0x230 scd0 not found at 0x230 ie0 not found at 0x360 ep0 not found at 0x300 ix0 not found at 0x300 le0 not found at 0x300 lnc0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ed0 at 0x280 lnc1 not found at 0x300 ze0 not probed due to maddr conflict with ed0 at 0xd8000 zp0 not probed due to maddr conflict with ed0 at 0xd8000 npx0 on motherboard npx0: INT 16 interface changing root device to sd0a -- Steve Passe | powered by smp@csn.net | FreeBSD
