I am having trouble getting FreeBSD installed. I have tried the 5.1 Disk1 and 5.1 minisnt images with no success. Please read below and see if you see anything obvious that I am doing wrong. Firmware V6.9-4 PALcode VMS PALcode V5.56-2, OSF PALcode X1.46-2 Serial Rom V4.6 Diag ROM V1.7 Processor DecChip 21064A-2 233Mhz 512KB Cache Memory 96MB >>> show boot* boot_dev dka0.0.0.6.0 boot_file boot_osflags boot_reset ON bootdef_dev dka0.0.0.6.0 booted_dev booted_file booted_osflags >>> show dev dka0.0.0.6.0 dka0 IBM DFHSS4F !p 4141 dka500.0.0.6.0 dka500 Compaq CDR-254V dva0.0.0.0.1 dva0 ewa0.0.0.11.0 ewa0 00-00-F8-23-3F-10 pka0.7.0.6.0 pka0 SCSI Bus ID 7 And I am booting from the installation CD as follows: >>> boot dka500 -FLAGS "-FILE" The system boots the CDROM. Gets past the switching to the OSF PAL succeeded. FreeBSD/alpha SRM CD9660 boot, Revision 1.2 Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf /boot/kernel/kernel data=0x4cd740+0x63ca0 syms=[0x0+0x65550+0x8+0x4d8a3] - Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt Booting [/boot/kernel/kernel]... Entering kernel @ 0xfffffc000033f0e0 screen flickers and shifts one character left and wraps the left characters onto the right side of the screen, then >>> halted CPU 0 >>> halt code = 5 >>> Halt instruction executed >>> PC=fffffc0000650e20 >>> CPU 0 booting Then it cycles through the CDROM boot again and again. Inever get the configuration GUI to start the installation process. The hard drive has NT loaded on it and if I Flash the ROM back to ARC, it will boot the NT system no problem. Any and all suggestion would be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Danny
