Date: 24 Sep 1993 20:39:56 -0700 Organization: Advanced Computing Systems Company Lines: 19 Distribution: world Message-ID: <280eic$eu4@acsc.com> NNTP-Posting-Host: acsc.com Well, I decided to fall back to FreeBSD, after my unsuccessful bout with NetBSD. I grabbed the distribution, built the kc, filesystem, and cpio floppies, and went for it. _This_ time, I can't even get as far as I did with NetBSD. The kc floppy boots and asks for the filesystem floppy, which I provide. It then proceeds to go through its startup sequence. It finally prints a "ISA strayintr 7" message, indicates that it's changing the root filesystem to fd0a, and then hangs forever. Note that I can, and have, booted 386bsd 0.1.2.4 several times during this process, with no problems whatsoever. Also note that I'm not trying to use my SCSI devices, although they are found. I'm about ready to shoot my computer. Sigh. extreme :-( -- Frank Mayhar fmayhar@acsc.com Advanced Computing Systems Company 3000 S. Robertson Blvd. Suite 400, LA, CA 90034 (310) 815-4858
