I saw the exact same problem mentioned once before on the lists
and I was wondering if any headway had been made on the problem.
(reference message id <199810181251.IAA17735@vger.foo.com> )
The system: Tyan Thunder II mobo, 2 x PII @ 266
384 megs SDRAM
adaptec 7895 onboard
fast/wide 9 gig WD scsi disk
I am installing 3.1-RELEASE I got off ftp.cdrom.com last night.
The install goes fine, but when I reboot and it comes up off
the hard disk, at the F1: Freebsd, etc. prompt, when it either
times out or you press F1, it just beeps. Further keypresses
elicit further beeps but nothing real ever happens.
I am about to go the route of using a fully dedicated disk (which fixed
the problem in the case previously mentioned on the lists), but I
thought I should report this. If anyone is interested in further
details or having me poke at the problem in some way, drop me a line.
Please cc: me directly in responses as I'm not sure my reception
of the lists has been 100%.
