I have a question, i am trying to install freebsd 2.1.6 ... i have: 486/66 125 meg ide drive, 8 megs ram, adaptec 152x scsi card, reno 2x cd-rom drive, a cdc 322 meg scsi drive, monochrome video card an ethernet card(nec2000 compat.)... My system locks up after the install, when i exit the sysinstall, it locks up when it tries to sync disks.. (if i remember correctly, resave the kernal and other things..) ... i had freebsd setup on a different machine earlier, but this one is giving me trouble.. i am using the exact same equipment as last time, except for the edition of the ethernet card, and a different scsi HD than the current one i am using.. other than the processor everything else is exactly the same.. quesiton: would the different scsi drive i am using lock up the syncing disks? i dont have another hd currently to test it with.. but this happened on a 386 i tried to put it on also, and same result.. i took the inner working out of the 386 and put it in this 486.. i tried without the network card.. i dont have enough room for just the 1 125 meg ide drive to put the whole system on, so i didnt want to check that yet.. but after it locks up, i am forced to reboot, and i get something to the effect of: C:-3xxxxxxxx (bunch of numbers, cant remember off hand..) AFTER i get the freebsd bootstrap.. i tried -c option, no luck, i am presuming the kernal cant load cuz it wasnt saved? but what's locking up when it syncs disks? oh ya, when it syncs disks it reports these numbers: syncing disks... 66 33 [locks up here] any help or if anyone wants the numbers that get printed out when i boot, lemme know.. please respond via email, as i dont subscribe to the list.. thank you for all of your time.
