we had a test core2due/1.8G tyan machine running 1.2rc3 which upgraded without a hitch, however, we wanted to use it for something else, so it got wiped. we then tried to install 1.2rc4, booted fine from cdrom, chose option99 (no network cables being plugged in) and the screen turned blue with a top grey bar saying "F10 to refresh" and a bar at the bottom saying "Waiting for backed".
waited and waited, went away to do something more interesting nothing happened for a couple of hours. now, the machine had previously been set up with mirrored disks on freebsd, so I booted a rescue disk and zeroed the whole disk to ensure the system was clean. tried again and still the same problem. so, tried a different machine, a supermicro core2duo which had been through the same process, as it was to be the backup firewall for the above, same problem. any ideas what to look for? thanks Paul --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
