RE: installation of FreeBSD 6.0
I've given up on the installation of FreeBSD 6.0 on my current system. I bought a new system (it was on sale) and will do the installation of FreeBSD 6.0 on it, but I will start a new message thread for that the subject matter being New Computer System. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I missed the OP, so I apologise in advance for the multiple ccs. 11 Minutes to get to the boot loader startup? Is this a 80386? If it is, then as of some time ago these are no longer supported in a default install. http://www.freebsd.org/platforms/i386.htm -- -- ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]

installation of FreeBSD 6.0
I have tried several ways to install FreeBSD version 6.0 and all bomb the same way. What happens is that I first get a message Building the boot loader arguments on one line, and shortly afterwards the message Relocating the loader and the BTX on another line. After a delay of about 11 minutes, a third line appears containing the message Starting the BTX loader.
