I recently downloaded and burned the FreeBSD 4.1 ISO. I am now trying to boot and install FreeBSD from the cd onto an IBM 330 PC Server. But I'm having a hard time doing so. After the computer boots into the FreeBSD install off of the cd, it gives you the option of configuring kernel options or simply continuing. Regardless of which option I pick, I still have the problem. Anyway, after continuing to load the kernel, I get a message saying "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". Well, 15 seconds comes and goes, and nothing happens.. In fact, I let it sit for 30 minutes and nothing happened.. I have no idea why this is happening, can anyone out there please give me any clues as to where the problem might be? Thank You, Drew BTW- Yes the box has enough guts to run FreeBSD easily... 64megs of RAM, 4.5 gig hd, PPro 200... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
