When I boot with boot.flp it boots fine. I go through the kernel config and remove all the conflicting devices. Then it goes through the normal probing messages, and finally prints "/stand/sysinstall running on vty0" and then clears the screen and puts a cursor in the lower left corner. (I scrolled back to see the /stand/sysinstall message) If I switch to vty1, there are several debug messages printed. They say: DEBUG: ioctl(3,TIOCCONS,null) = 0 (success) DEBUG: found a disk device named wd0 DEBUG: found a DOS partition wd0s1 on drive wd0 DEBUG: found a DOS partition wd0s2 on drive wd0 DEBUG: found a disk device named wd1 DEBUG: try for cd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: try for mcd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: try for scd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: try for matcd0a returns errno2 I don't have any of the cd devices enabled because i just have a ide cdrom, and the install files are on a DOS partition. The computer is a P2-300, with 64 megs of ram. I've installed FreeBSD several times before on my old computer and never had a problem, so this one mystifies me. Thanks in advance Steve Eck
