Hello all,Firstly, my apologies for comparing an archaic version to a recent one. I was unable to find a high-level change-log for version that stretch back to 1.0beta1 nor archived download images of those older versions. I have a specific machine that 1.0-beta1 boots and works on, but 1.0- RC2 stops at the boot loader. It is very hard to troubleshoot because this machine: - Has one serial port that is attached in a proprietary way to a 16x2 character LCD display - Has no video card/chipset So, because of the above, I'm not quite able to see why it gets stuck in the boot menu - I see enough text to indicate that is where it is. To be clear, when I say boot menu I really mean the bootstrap loader which has the option of a menu if you hit a key. This just in (tested while this message was being composed): the very last line of display says "'t load 'kernel". Which presumably means it can't load its kernel. Now, I know that this media works because if you use the HD in another machine ("normal" PC) it boots just fine and works. Sorry for the vague report, any ideas?
Please test a FreeBSD 6.1 CD and if you continue to have problems you will need to send a message to freebsd-release. The changes between those versions is the fact that we are now on FreeBSD 6.1 release. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
