-or-
Idiot user can't find the any key.
I have a Toshiba Tecra 9100 laptop 1700mhz/256m, I'd like 5.2.1-rel on it.
Think I'm falling off the directions about disabling laptop pcibios ..but I'm out of
FAQ's
Boot(8) sucessfully loads a kernel and displays the boot menu, and no matter
how I tell the kernel to boot ( no APCI ) we hang after this... Sorry no serial cable
dmesg =) Tell me if we need to type _the whole thing_.
agp0: <Intel 82845 host to AGP brige> mem 0xe00000000-0xefffffff at device 0.0 on pci0
and then nothing, no disk access, no kbd interaction only zuul.
The faq has a note about disabling pcibios by getting '-c' to the kernel via
the boot> prompt. I can't seem to get at that prompt in any way. The suggested
technique is to hit the any key at the boottrap spinner cursor; but those keystrokes
are buffered until the loader's menu comes up. (Idiot user can't find the any key, tee
hee) Issuing boot -c to the loader prompt gets me to the same nowhere.
Help. I'm ignorant of the magick of boot(8) and it's gang. I don't belive
that this machine has a text bios meny to tweak hw compatibility settings.
Hmm.. I should give darwin a shot that this HW <g>.
