i have an ML6000 (no floppy) and have downloaded the 4.11 mini-iso image, and burned it to a CD-RW.
CPU: VIA C3 Nehemiah (666.55-MHz 686-class CPU) after rebooting, the CD is found, and a boot attempt is made. within 5 seconds, the kernel locks up after about 3 seconds of the kernel data+234238 text+23432 stuff and the /-\|/-\ twirling prompt, leaving a "/" as the first character on the next line. the ISO is the exact size it should be, and i could "gzip -t mfsroot.gz" in the /boot directory without error - so i guess it's a good image. i am running 4.10 currently, and have no boot problems off the hard drive. any ideas as to what could cause this lock-up at boot time? i thought the ISO's are made with the mkisofs --no-emul-boot, yet the CD is recognized as a 2.88 floppy, and boots 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader. i never booted off CD's before, and don't know what i should expect exactly. thanks. _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
