Maybe someone's heard of it. The machine is has a Cyrix 5x86 running at 100 mHz on board. It has a Gravis UltraSound, a NetLan NE2000-compatible, a generic IO/FDD/IDE VLB board, and a Diamond SpeedStar (CL5426, I believe.) It has 64MB of RAM (2 32MB FP SIMMs). Most of that hardware has been in other machines I own that have run FreeBSD at one point or another, except the Cyrix processor and the motherboard. The problem is, after the MFS root floppy loads (or in the case of 2.2.8-RELEASE, after the boot floppy loads), just before the question about configuration, the machine spontaneously reboots. Any ideas?
