Hey All, I'm new to both FreeBSD and this list, so please go easy... Recently, I downloaded the FreeBSD 4.1 ISO. After burning it, I attempted to install it by setting up the bios on my box to boot from the cdrom. Then I put the cd in and booted into the FreeBSD setup with the cd. When the computer first boots from the cd, it begins loading the kernel, then gives a menu screen asking if I want to configure the kernel or continue without configuring. Regardless of which option I choose, the problem still exists. Anyway, so I choose an option and the kernel continues to load. Then, I get a message saying "Waiting 15 seconds for SCSI devices to settle". Well, 15 seconds comes and goes and nothing happens. I've waited up to 30 minutes for it to proceed and it never does.. I have no idea what to try next. Any tips anyone out there could give me would be a huge help. Thank You, drew BTW- Yes the box is fast enough to support FreeBSD, its a PPro 200, 64 megs of RAM, and a 4 gig drive.. and I'm using a Adaptec 2940A SCSI adapter... _________________________________________________________________________ Get Your Private, Free E-mail from MSN Hotmail at http://www.hotmail.com.
