Hi, We are trying to install FreeBSD from a CDROM on a 486 with 8M RAM. When we boot from the boot floppy, it goes to the point where it prints: "Changing root device to fd0c" After that it just stops, doing nothing. We have tried interchanging A: and B: drives, and tried to boot with 1.2MB disk also. In both cases it goes to the same point and just stops. We have also tried disabling unwanted devices. The result is the same. Following are some of the messages the kernel prints before hanging: ahc0:274x Twin channel-ignoring channel B, 4SCBs ahc0:WARNING no command for scb0 (cmdcmplt) pas0 not probed due to I/O address conflict with ahc0 at 0x1f88 epprobe: interrupt number 1024 doesn't match Once it also hanged on CD-ROM after printing: ahc0:targ3 lun0:<unknown????> instead of normally printing ahc0:targ3 lun0:<TOSHIBA CD-ROM XM-3401TA0283> and going ahead till the "changing root device...." message. Does anyone know what the problem might be? The files on troubleshooting etc don't mention reasons for any such problem? Thanks....... -- Ritesh
