Subject:   DL360 G3 w/ AMD64 Cant boot from CD
Message-ID:  <000001c93e35$9d456790$d7d036b0$@com>

Hello,

I am trying to install FreeBSD on my HP DL360 G3 server with 8GB of ram. I
need to use the AMD64 distribution, as I understand, to utilize over 4GB of
ram.

Unfortunately I cannot boot from any of the FreeBSD CDs :


7.0-RELEASE-AMD64
6.3-RELEASE-AMD64


I will try 8.0-CURRENT-AMD64, however I don't think it will matter. Since
I'm not using "unusual" hardware, but rather hardware that has been
established at least since 2003, I was hoping that someone else may have
encountered this problem.

If anyone can assist me , it would be greatly appreciated.

The specific error message is as follows :


int=0000000d  err=00000000  efl=00010006  eip=000219b2

BTX halted

The above happens /JUST/ after pressing "enter" at the boot screen when
booting from the FreeBSD cd.


Thanks,

Kevin K.
