Yeah, we've had problems with the boot blocks for the CDROM for these platforms and felt it was too risky to make changes about them late in the release cycle. Try and take the boot.flp image (all ~2.88MB of it) and dd it from another system to the absolute front of the disk you want to install either the 4100 or the 8200 on, and the put the disk back onto the 8200 or 4100 and try booting the disk then. -matt On Fri, 11 May 2001, Mohacsi Janos wrote: > Hi, > I tried to boot FreeBSD 4.3 on AlphaServer 4100 and 8200. 4100 > starts booting and after loading starts initializing the system the kernel > hangs.
