So I was able to binary update from 6.4 to 7.0-RELEASE, but when I trie=
d
freebsd-update -r 8.0-RC3 upgrade
After installing after that I get the same hanging I saw with the booto=
nly
ISO. The mpt0 device is loaded, pcib8, but after it hits atrtc0, it
hangs.
I'm trying what someone suggested previously -- install 8.0-RC3 using t=
he
6.4 install disk via the net. I'm trying that now, but I'm not hopeful=
.
I think I need to give up and move on that FreeBSD isn't going to work.
