The install goes fine - no problems what-so-ever. After exiting the install program and rebooting, and after the 'boot:' prompt appears, the twirly bar shows up, freezes, and nothing happens (I've let it sit for up to 10 minutes). A hard reset is required to reboot the machine, which runs Linux and OS/2 without problems. The machine is a 486DX50 with 16M RAM (and an Award BIOS). FBSD is installed on wd1 (an EIDE drive, no disk manager installed), and booted by OS/2's Boot Manager. The EIDE controller is a Promise EIDE 2300. The machine also has a NE2000 clone, a PAS16 sound card which also drives the SCSI CD-ROM drive, and a Genoa (Cirrus Logic Chipset) SVGA card. (The Promise card and the Genoa are VL-bus cards.) Someone have any ideas about this? // ------------------------------------- | |\ _,,,---,,_ // Roland Jay Roberts - Team OS/2 - | ZZZzz /,`.-'`' -. ;-;;,_ // Internet: jay@map.com | |,4- ) )-,_. ,\ ( `'-' // FidoNet: Roland Roberts @ 1:321/305.5 | '---''(_/--' `-'\_)
