In-Reply-To: <000b01c09d7d$95ae12e0$0f00000a@eagle> Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Hi, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.2 from CD-ROM on an AMD Athlon via it's DVD-ROM drive. It's been taking a VERY long time(like half an hour) just to boot up the kernel to go into the installation menu. I tried using the floppies and they get some kind of read error? But I use the same floppies on an intel machine and it boots right up. Any clues?
