I have installed FreeBSD 3.4 on an IBM PS/1 Expert for a project I am working on (I know, it's old, but I figured it would run FreeBSD). The installation was performed over NFS successfully but the machine will lock up after the timer for boot options hits 0 and the machine attempts to start. I have ruled out RAM as a possiblity. The machine has a 486/33 processor and 16MB of RAM, a 3Com509 NIC and a SVGA(?) display adapter. The installation works fine, it boots from the floppy, mfsroot.flp loads fine, I can install over my lan without a hitch, but when I reboot, it won't load. Furthermore, it does not display any error messages as to what the problem is. I installed Linux Slackware 7.1, which does run, but would rather stick with FreeBSD as that is what I am running on the rest of my machines. Any clues here? I tried booting with the option "-d" to no avail. Thankx To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
