 I am trying to install FreeBSD 6.2 on my system with the following
 configuration :
 Intel Core2Duo 2.00 GHz
 Intel 945 Mother Board
 1GB DDR2 Ram (Transcend)
 160 GB SATA Western Digital Hard Drive
 Sony DVD-RW (IDE)
 Realtek RTL 8168 10/100 On-Board Ethernet Controller
 Realtek High Definition Audio (On-Board)

 When I boot using the FreeBSD_Install disc (Disc-1) the system goes to
 Welcome to FreeBSD and if I let it take the default choice of 1 then it goes
 through the Device Probing and then freezes at the following line
 md0:Preloaded Image boot/mfsroot 4423680 bytes at a hex address.
 Nothing happens after this and the system comes to a stand still.
 I would be really greatful if you resolve my issue or give me any advise
 that would help me to get around this issue.

Have you tried letting it boot in the safe (I think that's what it's
called...) mode?

RE: Installation freezes

2003-09-20 Thread Ph. Schulz
I had some similar issues w/ an old Compaq Armada running at 150MHz.
However, cpu speed is not the problem here but you probably do not have
enough RAM installed.
To verify that, try to install again. During the time the installation is
running, go to the second (I belive) console and watch the output. If you
see notices of processes being killed, and if the process being killed is
init, then you simply should add some RAM to your machine. Or install
FreeBSD 4.8, worked fine for me. When I upgraded from 16MB to 32MB, my
problems were solved and I was able to install FreeBSD 5.1.
