I'm hoping this will be easy to solve -- or at least easy to diagnose. I'm new to FreeBSD, so I just don't know where to look yet.
I have a Netfinity 5k, .6Gh SMP with an Adaptec RAID. It runs all manner of Linuxes just fine. I'd like to start running BSD instead.
Install from CD fails. If I leave APIC on, the boot into the installer gets as far as a message that says:
Timecounters tick every 10.000 msec
Actually, if I wait a very long time, I get one more message:
md0: Preloaded image </boot/mfsroot> ...
If, on the other hand, I turn off APIC, I get into the installer just fine. When I try to set the media to CD, however, installer tells me that I have no CD drives (despite the fact that is is running from one!)
I'd appreciate any suggestions that would help me: 1) identify the hardware that is causing the stall, so I can pull it out 2) explain to the installer where my CD drive is, with APIC off
Many thanks, Blake Meike
