Yeah, it's kinda weird with the floppy, it'll make the
noises like it's trying to start and just sit there,
Same thing with the IDE drives.
Have tried to boot from CD as well. The FreeBSD
will start and get hung after loading uhcio (??) and
I'll have to power cycle the system. Windows 2000
install hangs when it tries to start Windows 2000.
Sigh.. and it's such a nice board otherwise

I had FreeBSD 5.1 installed on an older Dual

replaced
the board with a 440GX dual. Basically, I took the

out of the old system and put into the new since
the
boards are pretty similar.The system is working
but
there seems to be some quirks such as the Onboard
NIC
will not pick up a connection( IT is recognized by
the
System and uses the same driver (FXP)) and the
floppy
drive will not read a floppy at anytime (At boot
too).
I've rebuilt world and kernel and still have the
same
problems.
I'm also noticing now that after reconfiguring
X, my
mouse is chunky. To be honest, it's chunky in the
mouse setup in /stand/sysinstall too.
I'm leaning towards a flakey board but have to
admit
my naivity in that it may be due to not
reinstalling
from CD. Suggestions, comments?
The floppy is one thing -- if it won't work at boot,
then FreeBSD
probably isn't related to its problems. The NIC may
be a different
issue; you could try booting from the install CD and
see if it works
from there. The mouse I'm even less sure about; it
sounds like it
could be an interrupt problem, but that's a sort of
vague guess.
Then again, I'm still running 4.x (5.x won't boot at
all on my spare
machine, thanks to the inclusion of AGP in the
default kernels)...
