The same CD boots fine and installed FreeBSD on a Miata and a DS10. I'm seeing the "cant find init" failure that Dirk Kleinhesselink reported in March on a PC164. The XP1000 has 512MB of memory, 4 SCSI devices on the internal controller. Toshiba IDE CDROM. Everything looks normal in the boot process until the kernel tries to mount root on /dev/md0c, finds that md0 has invalid partition information (no magic number) and later finds that it cant locate init. Any ideas appreciated /maurice (Compaq) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
