This system doesn't like to boot from the install media either, and would continuously dump these hex register on the screen. I was able to eventually install from the CD by holding the the space bar down until the speakers beeped for a couple of seconds (when you see /boot/kernel/kernel you can release the space bar), then it loads and executes the kernel and proceeds to sysinstall. Give this a try, and see if it works for you. If it ooes, send a followup to PR 105514 with your systems information. http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=105514 Scot -- DISCLAIMER: No electrons were mamed while sending this message.
