All additional attempts to install 4.6 fail:
1) Deleted everything from UserConfig except:
Storage :
ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller ata0 14 0x1f0
ATA/ATAPI compatible disk controller ata1 15 0x170
Floppy disk controller fdc0 6 0x3f0
Network : (empty)
Communications :
Parallel Port chipset ppc0 7
8250/16450/16550 Serial port sio0 4 0x3f8
8250/16450/16550 Serial port sio1 3 0x2f8
Input :
Keyboard atkbd0 1
PS/2 Mouse psm0 12
Syscons console driver sc0
Multimedia : (empty)
Miscellaneous :
PC-card controller pcic0 0x3e0
Math coprocessor npx0 13 0xf0
2) Followed the 4.6 errata sheet regarding a known problem with CDROM device
that affected installation.
set hw.ata.ata_dma="1"
set hw.ata.atapi_dma="1"
boot
3) Booted from the floppy installation disk. However, could not remove the
CD-ROM device as I'm not aware of a Virtual PC feature to allow this.
Tried each of these individually and in combination. Installation always
fails. The last thing "boot -v" always shows is:
DEBUG: deviceTry: Making raw device for /dev/acd0c [117, 0]
Anyone with advice on how to troubleshoot this problem further so early in
the boot process, please let me know and I'll get on it.
