Hi,
Enabled the console redirection in BIOS.
Using Hyperterminal, (I could't connect via minicom. How to disable the
modem connection in minicom?)
I got the following output.
After the following line, I see only the blinking cursor.
"Entering /boot/kernel/kernel at 0xe000000004058000..."
Did you successfully installed FreeBSD on your PE3250?. If so could you
send out the mini-HOWTO?
Thanks.
