I'm trying to install release 5.0 on an i386 system with a P100 processor with native windows 95 on the hard disk. I have 16mb ram and a 1.2GB IDE Wester Digital Caviar. Because the computer does not support CD booting and I have not been able to find a way to change boot order in the bios, I created boot disks as described in the install.txt. The kernel and the mfsroot load fine, but when it boots the kernel it freezes on the line "Mounting root from ufs:dev/md0/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0." It is detecting my cd-rom drive, which is a secondary slave. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.
