Wilkerson) Newsgroups: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Subject: Re: 2.1.0 Install problems Date: 30 Nov 1995 12:09:50 GMT Organization: "Purdue University Department of Mathematics" Lines: 20 Message-ID: <49k6ue$n87@mozo.cc.purdue.edu> References: <49gbhc$i69@mozo.cc.purdue.edu> Reply-To: wilker@math.purdue.edu NNTP-Posting-Host: hopf.math.purdue.edu A followup on the install problem with the 486DX100/4 and 2300 + Promise VLB controller card. The initial install goes smoothly. BUT it won't boot the disk image from the floppy or in drive 0 slot. I've turned off caching, turbo modes.block modes on ide, and it won't boot. Finally, the drive, with FreeBSD 2.1.0 installed on this machince, when removed and placed in 4 meg 16mhz 386 does boot! Replacing the MAxtor 546 with a Seagate 144meg drive duplicates the problem. One other piece of info-- I have 20 megs of RAM. -- Clarence Wilkerson \ HomePage: http://www.math.purdue.edu/~wilker Prof. of Math.
