RE: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0
I had this problem when I was using an older model motherboard with only 64k memory. I moved HD to an newer pc to install FreeBSD to HD them returned HD to first box and all was ok. Then configured FreeBSD OS on older box with out any problems after that. Read 6.0 notes about dropped support for i386 cpu which I think is the cause of problem -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Nagy László Zsolt Sent: Wednesday, April 26, 2006 8:53 AM To: Jeff Rollin; freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0 Jeff Rollin wrote: > could you post the partition layout?

Re: Problem installing FreeBSD 6.0
Did you do a custom newfs? No. What's you partition layout? First slice is a Windows NTFS, 45GB Then I have a 35GB slice for FreeBSD (type 165). Inside that slice, I used automatic partitioning. What did you install (only the bare base? or also additional distributions/packages) I selected the 'All binaries and doc but no games, kernel sources only' option. But the problem occurs while it displays: "extracting base into /" so probably it has nothing to do with the selected distros/packages.

RE: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help
I believe you are saying that 5.2 is currently installed on the hard drive and you want to do a fresh install from scratch of 6.0. You have to change the pc bios setup to boot from the cd drive instead of from the hard drive. The pc will then boot from the 6.0 cd and install 6.0 destroying the 5.2 system on the hard drive along with any user data you had. After 6.0 is installed you have to change the bios back to booting from the hard drive. Be sure you have a backup of any user data on the 5.2 system you want saved. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Saturday, March 11, 2006 5:44 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Problem Installing FreeBSD 6.0, asking for help Hello, may I ask you for help with the following Problem: When I try to install FreeBsd6.0, there is the following error during the boot process (because the system is not able to boot from CD, I have to boot from floppy) occurs: ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: SCB 6: immediate reset Flags 0x620 ahc0: probe1:ahc0:0:1:0: No longer in timeout, status=25b ahc0: Issued channel A bus reset, SCBs 6 aborted. ... ... ...
