Re: BTX HALTED!!! I can't get this rocket in the air

Hi Jerry,
I have an AMD ATHLON XP SYSTEM I am installing this on.
Dunno about the loader part, but you don't want to install the amd64 
port on an athlon xp.

Get the i386 port. You'll be fine.
HTH... Nico

Jerry Schromm disturbed my sleep to write:
 Hi FreeBSD folk. 
 I am reading this install guide. And it doesn't get me past this one.
 For one. I downloaded the AMD64 ISO's. And this loader say's freeBSD/i386. Anyway. 
 I boot to the loader and I can't select anything. Then BTX HALTED. That is all she
 wrote. If you all have the answer to this one. Please inform me. 

I've seen this error on a few systems I've installed FreeBSD on, and
usually managed to get around it by fiddling with DMA options in the BIOS.
Which option I had to change varied between boxes, but look for anything
that mentions DMA (UltraDMA, DMA Mode, whatever) or PIO, and start
methodically tweaking them one at a time.

HTH,
Hugh
