Message-Id: From: Pete French Date: Tue, 23 Jan 2001 18:09:30 +0000 Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG o.k., this is *very* odd. I am using the 4.2 rrelease Cd to install onto a machine. This machine installs 3.4 fine and is currently running it quite happily. Under 3.3 I boot from two floppies, get the screen which allows me to configure the kernel, then it boots into the nice blue screen from sysinstall. All well and good. Under 4.2 I boot from the two floppies and the screen to allow kernel configs never appears - the system runs saright into the boot, starts up sysinstall... and at this point appears to freeze. Or at least I can get no response from the keyboard ! Anybody seen anything liek this, or have any suggestions as to how to get round it ? I've taken as much of the hardware out as I feasibly can, and an identical motherboard appears to work fine.. Hmmmm... system is a K2/450, 64MB of RAM, Adapatec 2940UW SCSII card, G200 AGP card, -pete.
