Well, I did an FTP install (rather than ISO) from ftp7.de.freebsd.org and it went mostly smooth, two issues: 1. ports collection is claimed to not be found (what the heck...) but some INDEX file is available, so pkg_add works. 2. at some point in time, usually around Remaking all devices, the machine throws a handful of segfaults and boom. I'm unsure whether this might be the hardware, it's an old Cyrix MII/233 (PR300) Super7 CPU in a VIA MVP3 board (PCChips M577), 32 MB PC66 + 64 MB PC100 RAM (66 MHz FSB), nothing server-class, but it seems to be fine even under load with SuSE Linux 8.1 or 8.2 (dual-boot). -- Matthias Andree Encrypt your mail: my GnuPG key ID is 0x052E7D95 ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

What terminal type is it set to emulate? I'm using Mac OS X 10.2.8's Terminal.app, which claims to be vt100, through minicom. The bad display is probably Terminal.app's fault -- I'll try through an (Apple) xterm next -- but I was very surprised that arrow keys wouldn't work in ANSI mode. FWIW, I mentioned that primarily as an indication that I might not have hit BootMgr, since I couldn't see what I was doing well. The more serious problems are package conflicts and nonworking boot code...
