Hello, I've had problems with 2.2.6-Release and Atapi devices (actually an Iomega Zip and an IDE CD-ROM) ; I had to copy the bin and src.sys distribs to the hard drive (from Win$$) and then install from the DOS partition (the atapi.c and atapi.h from the 2.2.6-R are to be upgraded) I've already posted a message on the same subject (the search page on www.freebsd.org is your friend) TfH > Jeremy Johnson wrote: > > Hi, > > > > Installation question.. > > > > I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.6 (from the Walnut Creek CD-ROM) on a > > Dell PC (Pentium II/400Mhx/64Mb with standard 6GB IDE HD and ATAPI CD-ROM > > plus S3 Virge card - which the doc's say FreeBSD does support). > > > > When installing from CD-ROM (via direct booting at startup) I get to a blue > > screen with 'Probing devices, please wait..' and then it just sits there. > > (I once tried leaving it for an hour like that, but it didn't do > > anything).
