Hello, I am new to the mailing list.  I am sorry if this is an old  
subject but I'm having issues installing freebsd sparc64 on a sun  
enterprise 250 server.  For some reason when I type "boot cdrom" at  
the ok prompt, the system hangs loading the kernel.

On the freebsd website it says the e250 is known to run freebsd 6.2  
which is exactly what I am trying to do.  If someone on the list has  
been successful at this task; could you please share your experience?

thx.
