Hi! I just noticed the info about the location of the mirrored FreeBSD source tree at ftp.funet.fi is incorrect in the MIRROR.SITES file. Currently it should read ftp://ftp.funet.fi/ftp/mirrors/ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD There is also a question I would like to ask. Just yesterday I started installing FreeBSD on a AMD486-100MHz machine with Aquarius-PCI mother board, a 1.2GB Western Digital hard disk, Mitsumi-4x CD-ROM, 3c509 Ethernet, Alps Membrane keyboard, and Diamond Stealth 64 with 2MB VRAM. Everything went smoothly during the fdisk, disklabel, and newfs etc. phase until the time the machine should have been rebooted from wd0. When I had removed the boot diskette from the drive and pressed the return key the machine just printed the message Rebooting... and seemingly hung there forever. Within the next 10 minutes nothing happened, and then I decided to try the reset button. Again the boot hung, though this time with the prompt Default: F? Apparently the machine did not read the keyboard correctly or it did not find the correct kernel image to load. With short intervals it only reprinted the same prompt again and again. Pressing the F-keys also caused the prompt to be reprinted but there was no more progress after that. Any ideas about what could be going wrong? Are there any certain modes that should be used by the BIOS to handle the keyboard or the disk at this time to make the boot code work? Cheers, // jau ------ / Jukka A.
