Maybe your bios reports a wrong controller, in this case try "1:da(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel". Try also the second disk "0:da(1,a)/boot/kernel/kernel". When you install from the CD, it is possible to display diagnostic and error messages on the second terminal. You can reach it by pressing ALT-F2. Tell us, if you find some interresting messages here. Some points you could check: Did you set the bootable flag on your root slice in the FDISK partition editor screen? Did you select "Install the FreeBSD Boot Manager" or "Install a standard MBR" at the boot manager installation screen? Did you try the installation process with ACPI disabled? Are the latest BIOS versions installed on your mainbord and SCSI controller card? BTW - which mainboard do you use? - -- Christian Hiris <4711@chello.at> | OpenPGP KeyID 0x3BCA53BE OpenPGP-Key at hkp://wwwkeys.eu.pgp.net and http://pgp.mit.edu -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBrwKS09WjGjvKU74RAq0cAJ9gonfOurDoolZ958YRmf/9VfnRPgCfdvVN TTkdos4zDJZNXs/QOIvNAIA= =riEo -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
