RE: 5.4-release install problem - solved
Well, I got past the problem, but don't know what caused it. I downloaded the boot.flp, kern1.flp and kern2.flp images and made floppies. Booted using the floppies and did the install off the burned iso images (the same ones I tried to boot with and caused the btx: halted). Installed clean. Now the machine is running 5.4-rel. thanks for all who tried to help. -Darryl > >Well, >I went and tried to look at the scrolling text. It had several > columsn with "in" "err" "ef1" "cip".

5.4-release install problem
Greetings, I downloaded the 5.4-release iso images from the freebsd website. I used my windows machine and Nero to burn the iso images to cd's. I have an old machine that I am trying to install 5.4-release on. It is a PII 333, SCSI with 30GB scsi hard drive. I place cd 1 in the drive (disk 1 iso) and reboot the machine. When it boots, it looks to the cdrom drive as the first boot device. When it does, my screen is full of scrolling text which looks like dump info. It scrolls on and on. Any ideas on the problem ? thanks, Darryl ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
