The name on the motherboard manual is "Pi8g" copyright 1994. It has a PCI bus, fairly configurable CMOS. Came in a CY Industries machine. I can provide more detail as needed. Thanks for the response, I will give your suggestion a try. jp To add to my previous response: this has worked and gotten me to the install menu. I am not an experienced unix admin and would like a stable system to run a web server. Can I install 2.1.5-R from this boot floppy and would you suggest that I do so or go for the 2.2-SNAP ver? Thanks. jp ______________________________REPLY SEPARATOR____________________________ From: John Brann (jbrann) To: BSD_LIST@tdoa.capnet.state.tx.us Date: Wednesday, October 23, 1996 11:03 pm Subject: Re: Lockup on boot disk unix bsd_list wrote... > RE: 2.1.5-RELEASE > > Trying to install to a clone P60 with 32 Meg ram, intel ether express, adaptec 2940, STB > SVGA, from boot floppy.

I know there have been some changes in the way that PCI probing happens which are in the 2.2 SNAPS. This enabled me to boot on machines which locked up at this point with 2.1.5. Download a 2.2-SNAP boot floppy and see if that helps... John -- Well, that's like hypnotizing chickens. finger jbrann@panix.com for pgp public key CC: freebsd-questions@FREEBSD.ORG
