I don't know about version 4.1, but my experience with 3.3 required that I thoroughly wipe the hard drive before retrying a failed install. It seemed that the install would always want to pick up where it left off and never clean itself up. To completely remove 3.3 I had to fdisk and format with windows, then redo the BSD install.

I have a Tyan Thunder Main board with 128 MB ram When I try and install it bypasses the kernel configuration and takes me straight to the /stand/sysinstall menu. There is also no keyboard support, therefore I am unable to complete an install. I have tried the boot floppies on another machine with a non ps2 keyboard and it worked fine. The machine I am trying to load to can run the boot floppies for release 4.0 without any difficulties. Has anyone else had similar difficulties with ps 2 keyboards on release 4.1 Thanks in advance Tim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-isp" in the body of the message
