Summary: Cannot boot 2.1.5R, Error: C:0 H:0 S:0
Keywords: freebsd, 2.1.5R, Gateway 2000

Hello,
and please help:
I am trying to install the 2.1.5R on Gateway 2000 Pentium 100 MHz PC.
Booting from the floppy disk I get the first boot prompt, then
after a few seconds the screen scrolls with:
Error: C:0 H:0 S:0
Error: C:0 H:0 S:0
...
and so on until I reset it. Attempts to play with the setup options
did not seem to help.
The same computer boots from the 2.1.0R floppy,
and the boot 2.1.5R floppy disk works with another PCs. The system
is 16 MB, and during the boot FreeBSD 2.1.0 recognizes the chipset as
Triton rev. 1 and Triton rev. 2 . Amibios is 1.00.05. BROT
The system otherwise works with WIN95. If it would be a hardware
problem how could I demonstrate it to the supplier (the computer is
still under guarantee)?

hardware problem then how could I demonstrate it to the vendor
(the computer is under guarantee period)?
