FreeBSD 6.0 and Shuttle AMD64

2006-01-05 Thread Jean-Baptiste Potonnier
I'm a new FreeBSD user, just tested it on an old i386, and want to switch from Slackware linux to FreeBSD or NetBSD. I wanted to install FreeBSD on my new Shuttle SN95G5: the AMD64 cdrom # 1 boots, but a message tells me that no kernel can be loaded. I get a command line wit "boot", "ls", 'load',
