Hello:
I am a UNIX novice! I tried to install FreeBSD 4.4. The
results hold some bugs... still.
I purchased a DELL L556cx to operate FreeBSD. In
installation of the OS from CD-ROM, it found error. I
looked into the manuals and found not find either them or the
problem fix-it.
I reset the BIOS to default. It made the three error
msgs on installation. As follows...
BTX loader 100 BTX version 1.01
console: internal video/keyboard
/stand/sysinstall running as init on VTY0
These error msgs appeared in light gray. The accepted
installations appeared in white text.
-----------------------
A flash menu appeared with the notice
“Starting Emergency Holographic VTY4.”
It only appeared for an instant...
-----------------------
In addition I received a notice that the video terminal in
application during installation was VTY1. As follows...
“You may wish to scroll-lock through the debugging messages
on VTY1 with the scroll-lock feature.”
What is wrong. How do I fix-it? Where is a
reference?
Thank you for your time and assistance.
Tom
