sysinstall - ALT F2 black screen
I'm installing on a ASUS P55T2P4 again on an IBM DHEA 38451 with the 3.0 STABLE install floppies. Making filesystem on wd0s1f took quite long and did not end. Trying to switch to the DEBUG screen (ALT F2) gives me a black screen. Anyone seen this? Or is my hardware still screwed? Not finding the wdc controllers in previous efforts was caused by some special wiring the colleague added to disable the hard disks by a switch on the front panel (which took off power from the hard drive while leaving it cabled to the controller). -- Chris Christoph P.

Yuck. That's extra-bad. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ m...@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msm...@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msm...@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with unsubscribe freebsd-current in the body of the message

Second boot and doing it all over again didn't show the black screen and the system got installed fine fed from ftp.freebsd.org. Thanks.
