(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%. -Craig To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
