An hour how long should I wait?
In the meantime I have setup pxeboot and tested a number of releases.
Sysintall working but no nic support : 6.3 amd64, 6.4 amd64
Hang on /dev/md0 : 7.0 amd64, 7.1 amd64, 7.2 amd64, 8.0-Beta2 amd64

There is no floppy connector on the motherboard and no floppy drive options in
the BIOS.

After
Trying to mount root from ufs:/dev/md0
I get:
Start_init: trying /sbin/init
Start_init: trying /sbin/oinit
Start_init: trying /sbin/init.bak
Start_init: trying /rescue/init
Start_init: trying /stand/sysinstall
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
GEOM_LABEL: Label ufsid/49faae8a8342179f removed.
I have left it like this for now see if anything else appears.
I'll have this hardware until tomorrow at which point they going to take it
away from me :-)
Indecently 7.2 i386 will install?
Ps should I have sent this to [email protected] ?
