Hi all, I've just installed FreeBSD 4.4-RELEASE onto a Dual PIII-450 with 512MB of RAM. It has two IBM 13GB IDE disks. I boot from the CD fine and proceed through the install without any problems. On reboot though I recieve a continous powercycle ie. The machine boots, gets to a point in the FreeBSD boot process and summarily reboots itself again. I've maanged to pause this process and this is what I see : FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (murray@builder.FreeBSD.org, Tue Sep 18 10:05:43 PDT 2001) Can't work out which disk we are booting from. Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffffnot found by porbers, defaulting to disk0: Console: Internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk 4 BIOS drive C: is disk 5 BIOS 639kB/523200kB available memory Any ideas? Faulty hardware. Odd though that the same machine was booting 4.3-STABLE fine. -byron To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
