Subject:   4.0-RELEASE ASUS K7V floppy boot fails -- register dump
Message-ID:  <lfwvljidr0.fsf@Samizdat.uucom.com>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help
Got a new ASUS K7V with AMD K7 700Mhz processor trying to install
FreeBSD-4.0 from the kern.flp on ftp.freebsd.org. It dumps the
registers immediately after saying

/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: yes
/               [spin icon just twitches once or somethign]

Here's what the 4.0-RELEASE kern.flp dumps before halting; I'm
supressing the leading zeros so I can typie this:

int=d      err=0        efl=30002       eip=56af
eax=208    ebx=0        ecx=c0010010    edx=100
esi=b      edi=5        ebp=3f4         esp=3c4
cs=f000    ds=ec00      es=1000         fs=0    gs=0    ss=9e75
cs: eip=0f 32 66 0d 00 00 08 00-0f 30 c3 66 b9 10 00 01
ss: esp=12 57 03 01 00 00 00 01-00 00 8d 1d 00 ec ba 1d
System Halted


I've also tried this with the 3.4-RELEASE floppy and it fails
similarly, tho dumps the registers twice for some reason. 

BTW: Solaris-x86-beta does boot from floppy.

Any hints? I'd really prefer not to go to (ehem) another operating system.

Thanks.
