I'm trying to install FreeBSD 3.1 onto an HP Vectra VL 6/266 Series 7 DT PC. It's a PII-233 with 32 megs of memory, 4 gig IDE harddrive, a Cirrus Logic 546X video card (AGP), Diamond Monster 3D card, SMC EtherEZ (8416) ethernet card, Aztech 23230 Compatible PnP Audio card (came with machine), Matshita CD-ROM CR-588 (IDE) and a Phoenix BIOS 6.0.0 I can boot the Kernel floppy with no problem. When I insert the MFS root floppy and hit enter, I get the following dump: int=0000000e eir=00000004 efl=00030246 eip=000020da eax=00002001 ebx=00000000 ecx=0000df07 edx=000003f5 esi=0000a6fc edi=0000a6fc ebp=000003da esp=000003d0 cs=ebfa ds=0040 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9db7 cs:eip=8a 64 0a 8a c4 d0 e4 c0-e8 02 02 e0 b0 ff 2a c4 ss:esp=00 f0 fd 20 ca 28 31 25-fc a6 00 00 fe 9d fc a6 System Halted I've scoured the FAQs, newsgrouops and the FreeBSD website and all other Readmes I could get my hands on, but nothing seems to mention problems with HP Vectra PCs. But then, who knows... I've ensured things such as PNP OS is turned off in my BIOS. I've even gone so far as to turn off the cache to see if that was a problem. I've gone to another HP Vectra with a Pentium 120 in it and the MFS Root floppy worked fine. I'm new to FreeBSD so I'm not entirely familiar with it. I've used Linux since '92 but I also want to become familiar with FreeBSD as well. I've installed Linux on the same machine with no problems, so I'm not sure where the problem lies. Any help would be appreciated.
