I am trying to install FreeBSD for the first time on an athlon xp 1700 =20
w/ 1 gb of ram and get the following error message at the beginning =20
right after it loads all the drivers:
Uptime: 1s
Cannot dump. No dump device defined.
Automatic reboot in 15 seconds. Press any key on the console to abort.

I tried slowing the memory timing, using boot and full install discs, =20
as well as trying 5.4 and 6.1-BETA2, and get the same problem every =20
time. Does anyone know what is causing this and how I can get past it =20
to install FreeBSD?

Thanks, Jordan
