[-- Attachment #1 --] When trying to install FreeBSD 4.1 using the two Install-Disks (kern and mfsroot), my system crashes. First, everything looks just fine, i can boot the first (kern) disk, and then, after the mfsroot-disk is loaded, i get a message like "Booting kernel in 10secs, press Enter". When I then press Enter, i first get this "busy" symbol for 2-3 seconds, and then the system stops to react. The system configuration : P120MHz, 64MB RAM, 1.6Gb Maxtor HD, some no-name motherboard. I tried the whole thing on a other system (PII-400), and it worked without problems. Anybody got an idea what could be wrong ? Thanks for helping.
