Hi;
I have a Compaq LTE 4/33c notebook and docking station (consisting of a 5
1/2 floopy and 4x cdrom *IDE*) in which I'm tring to install FreeBSD. *When
the laptop is undocked* I'm able to get all the way to the install screen
and install FreeBSD through a parrallel port or serial port (If I knew how
to setup the server end.. hehe). *Undocked* However, the laptop Freezes at
the "Probing for Devices" screen when it's booting the installation screen.
I've tried to install NETBSD on this laptop and it would have worked fine
(Had I gone through with it). Red Hat linux installed fine too (But I can't
stand "Penguin technology" :P. If anyone has any Idea as to why this laptop
won't install right... plz let me know
sys specs:
MODEL: Compaq LTE 4/33c
486DX33 MHz processor
20MB of RAM
510HD
Intergrated trackball (is currently running on com2 irq 3)
serial port (com1 irq 4)
modem port (com3 irq 10)
Docking station:
Big-OLd&Ugly 5 1/2 floopy drive (yeah I said floopy... I like the
spelling better :P)
Creative labs 4x CD-ROM (IDE)
*during the visual device editior if I take out the 2nd IDE/ESDI/etc..
interface the install process works fine.. But I would like to use the
cdrom with this laptop*
thx..
