Dear all, I'm trying to install FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE on my system (Tyan Tiger S2460 dual Athlon system, CDROM as primary IDE device, ICP Vortex SCSI RAID (BIOS makes this appear as C:)) - if I don't boot -v, the last line I see is "mounting root from /dev/md0". If I add -v, the last line I see is it trying /stand/sysinstall. At this point, the system doesn't appear to have locked hard (pressing Alt+F2 gives a beep, ctrl+shift+prtscn tells me there's no debugger in the kernel) but the install won't go any further. Does anyone have any ideas how I might get 5.0 installed? (A related question: does anyone have a 5.0-current snapshot ISO image from around a year ago (late 2001, early 2002) lying around? I'm 99% sure one of these will boot on this box). Thanks in advance, Duraid To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
