FreeBSD 4.9 Install hangs
I'm having a problem installing FreeBSD 4.9 on an old ibm system. It hangs during boot while probing certain hardware. Both the cd install and the floppy disk have the same exact problem. The last message shown is it detecting ati mach64 pci video card, and just sits there. I've tried disabling and non-essential drivers in the kernel config screen, but nothing helped. 5.2.1 installed fine, but is too unstable for practical purposes (it just randomly resets in the middle of using it.) I've done a little searching, but couldn't find any good solutions as I can't just remove the video card to test it. -- I sense much NT in you. NT leads to Bluescreen. Bluescreen leads to downtime. Downtime leads to suffering. NT is the path to the darkside. Powerful Unix is.

FreeBSD 4.9 install
Hello. I've made 4 attemps to install FreeBSD 4.9 - and at every instance it freezes or hangs while probing... I just want to get the /stand/sysinstall to get on with it. Any suggestions of what to do about this?

Re: FreeBSD 4.9 install
Hello, In almost all cases of a freeze or hang on install the problem lies with hardware resource allocation. Can you help us help you by listing what device was being probed at time of lock up? R.

Open your pc and remove all the ISA PCI expansion cards so you have bare bones box. Try install again. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Marlon Bradley Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2003 11:23 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: FreeBSD 4.9 install Hello.
