Problems Booting 6.0 RC1 on ia64

2005-10-22 Thread Joe Kelsey
I am trying to boot up 6.0 RC1 on a brand new ia64 box.

I have an ASUS A8V motherboard with an AMD64 3800.  I have a DVD writer
attached to the ATA bus and two SATA disk drives.

On my x86 box (5.4), I download the 6.0 RC1 ia64 disc ISO images and
burn them onto CD-ROM.  I then take the new CD-ROM and put it in the
ia64 drive.  The system starts the boot process (with boot drive set to
the DVD writer), but errors out and asks me to insert a valid boot
drive.

What have I done wrong here?

If what you've typed is correct, you've mistaken the Itanium build 
for the AMD64 build of FreeBSD 6.0 RC1.


Try downloading the AMD64 version and see how that fairs.
