I've tried installing the FreeBSD 2.1 CD-ROM on my PC with no success.
The system consists of the following hardware:
AMI Atlas PCI-II Pentium-120 w/512K Pipeline Burst Cache
32 Meg RAM (60ns)
Adaptec 2940 SCSI
SMC-8432 BT NIC (DEC-21041)
Diamond Stealth 64 VRAM (S3-964)
Plextor 6Plex PX-63CS (6x SCSI CDROM)
Seagate ST15150N (4.3GB SCSI drive)
With the MB/BIOS set to Optimal settings the first 5 times I tried the CD
install the system would lock or reset at random times during the process.
The I set the board to Fail-Safe (All cache off, etc.) and the install
completed successfully.
I ran motherboard and memory diags for 24 hours with 0 errors.
Why would the Optimal settings cause the install.bat to crash?
Can I reset to Optimal or am I stuck with Fail-Safe (slow) settings?
