Hello. I just tried to boot FreeBSD 5.2-RC2 from CD (to install it) but it stops. I see there's already a PR for this dated 28th of December 2003: i386/60671 The laptop I'm trying to install FreeBSD on is not the same model/make as the one in the PR (the PR mentions a Toshiba Satellite, this one is a Fujitsu Siemens Lifebook). Doing a verbose boot tells me that it stops while trying to start sysinstall. The last lines of output are: start_init: trying /sbin/init start_init: trying /sbin/oinit start_init: trying /sbin/init.old start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall (could be spelling errors, I don't have that laptop in front of me right now) There's no error message, things just hang there. If I remember correctly, doing a non-verbose boot, the last text that's printed is "mounting root from ufs: /dev/md0". Are there any things I should do to perhaps find out why it just hangs? Any suggestions? -- Regards / Hilsen Eivind Olsen <eivind@aminor.no>
