I'm attempting to install FreeBSD 4.6-RELEASE on several i386 systems (clones) that have dual SCSI and no IDE disks. These systems are currently running an older version of FreeBSD (3.3 through 3.5, I'm not sure how they were installed as that pre-dates me tenure). The installation of 4.6-RELEASE locks shortly after a message regarding ppc0 (something to the effect of "ppc0: Parallel port not found"), when I think it is looking for disk controllers or disk drives. For kicks, I tried 4.5-RELEASE as well, and it failed in the same way. When I get a chance, I'll try 4.4, 4.3 and 4.2 as well since those were the last installations that I completed myself (on similar but not identical hardware). I've tried booting from floppy (to use a network install), and from both SCSI and IDE CD-ROM. I've tried the ATA workaround on the odd chance that was the problem, but still no luck. Has anyone experienced this kind of problem before? Any ideas on how to either fix it or get more information on what is going wrong (and what it's trying to do just before lockup)? Any help is appreciated. Regards, -ts. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-scsi" in the body of the message
