Hello, At last I finished my 3.3 ISO image download. Burned the CD tried to install fresh 3.3 FreeBSD. But unfortunately I can not complete it. The installation is comes to Kernel configuration. I make it. Save and continue. System probes the devices. Comes to the point where it changes the root device to floppy. "changing root device to fd0" (may be I typed fd0 wrong?) At that point it does not crash. My Num lock key lights are Ok. But, it also does not boot. I waited well over 20 minutes. Nothing happened. After that I tried to install it on a different machine. Again it come to that point and stop. Searched a little and found the information below in updated TROUBLE.TXT. --- Q: My system hangs during boot, right after the "fd0: [my floppy drive]" line. A: This is not actually a hang, simply a very LONG "wdc0" probe that often takes a long time to complete on certain systems (where there usually _isn't_ a WD controller). Be patient, your system will boot! To eliminate the problem, boot with the -c flag and eliminate the wdc0 device, or compile a custom kernel. --- I am not sure if it is the same problem with mine. OS finds my fd0 it is the correct capacity (1.44"). Anyone can direct me to the related document or give me some advice? My hardware configuration is given below. Configuration of 1st machine: Abit BH6 mainboard Pentium II 266Mhz Intel CPU 32x2=64MB SDRAM 6.4GB Western Digital IDE HDD 1.44" floppy (I do not know the model) Creative 48x ATAPI CDROM Configuration of 2nd machine: GigaByte BX 2000 main board Pentium Celeron 300 Intel CPU 1x64=64MB SDRAM 8.4 Western Digital IDE HDD 1.44" SONY floppy Creative Infra 48x ATAPI CDROM Regards, Ertan Kucukoglu ertank@ozlerplastik.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
