From: Peter Mulholland To: bug-followup@FreeBSD.org Cc: Subject: Re: i386/113160: [install] mountroot> prompt during first boot for installation Date: Mon, 3 Mar 2008 20:46:50 +0000 Hello bug-followup, For my system I found a solution The problem was being caused by the "Memory Hole At 15-16M" option in the BIOS. This seems to stop md from loading. Disabling it fixed the problem and the CD boots normally :) -- Best regards, Peter mailto:darkmatter@blueyonder.co.uk
