Re: FreeBSD 6.0 and Shuttle AMD64
OK, FreeBSD runs great on this machine. The problem was my CD burner...

FreeBSD 6.0 and Shuttle AMD64
I'm a new FreeBSD user, just tested it on an old i386, and want to switch from Slackware linux to FreeBSD or NetBSD. I wanted to install FreeBSD on my new Shuttle SN95G5: the AMD64 cdrom # 1 boots, but a message tells me that no kernel can be loaded. I get a command line wit boot, ls, 'load', etc. I tried some command to load a kernel but it didn't work. I don't know if can install FreeBSD on this hardware with this CDROM. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I precise that I've tried with ACPI disabled, just in case. I don't know how the installer decides that no kernel can be loaded, but I suppose that some hardware is not supported. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

Do you talk about the BIOS menu? because I have no menu in the installer (if fact I think I'm not in the installer but in a mini-shell for loading a kernel) When the install CD boots, you normally get presented with a menu (same on an installed FreeBSD system) which allows you to choose to boot the system with; 1) ACPI Disabled 2) ACPI Enabled...a safe mode etc. etc. If you are not getting to that then it sound like you might be at the loader console. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
