My video card is Stealth64 video 2001, using as near as I can determine, the "S3 Trio64V+" chip-set. I went into "-c" and disabled sio0-sio3, as suggested in one of the notes on-line. I got the same result. Gets well into the discovery sequence and then goes to black with a large block character in the lower left. [Is there any way to capture the boot output? It goes by so fast I cannot read the last thing prior to blackout.] ---------- From: DWHITE / MSMAIL, 01 (dwhite@riley-net170-164.uoregon.edu) Cc: FREEBSD-QUESTIONS / MSMAIL, 01 (freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG); PEKARSKE, BOB / TUC, 01 Subject: Re: Help needed on install Date: Wednesday, May 15, 1996 5:38PM > (I have done one system install, but this one isn't working.) > > Symptom: trying to install from Walnut Creek CD, trying both > "install.bat" and "makeflp.bat" methods, both end the same way.

If it's a Mach64 or S3 I bet that there is a sio3 clash. Try disabling sio3 in -c and see if that makes a difference.
