Dear List, I have a Sun Ultra 80 with 2 CPUs. I burned the ISO disks for 6.1-RELEASE and tried to boot. The kernel image loaded ok and I got appropriate information on the console. But when it tried to boot the kernel I got. Nothing to autoload Jumping to kernel 0xc0000006 Not perfect on the address, but that is close. I was reading in the archives of someone with a similar problem. He was using and UltraSparc III cpu and that is unsupported. But the first suggestion was that he install from the console port because there may not be support for the Framebuffer. So, I'm planning to try that. But, I'm wondering if I will be able to boot to video and keyboard once I install, or if I will always need to use the console port on this machine. A follow on question is, can I buy another graphics card that would work for this system on FreeBSD? Thanks for any help in this matter. John Barnes
