Hi Thanks for the feedback. Maybe my problem is hardware capability related. I have tried formating the HDD I have swaped HDD, I even tried booting from a release4.0 floppy to no avail. I know the floppies are ok (I think) because I used them on another compaq machine flawlessly as well. I have removed network cards changed cables etc and yet it still wants to pass over the kernel config and go straight to the /stand/sysinstall screen with no keyboard support I will create a new set of boot floppies and change the FDD regards Tim ----- Original Message ----- From: "Alan Batie" <alan@batie.org> To: "Tim McCullagh" <timbo@halenet.com.au> Cc: <freebsd-isp@FreeBSD.ORG>; <freebsd-hardware@FreeBSD.ORG>; <freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG> Sent: Tuesday, 1 August 2000 11:25 Subject: Re: Difficulty installing Release-4.1 from boot floppies On Tue, Aug 01, 2000 at 10:40:00AM +1000, Tim McCullagh wrote: > Has anyone had any difficulty loading release 4.1 ? I just upgraded 4.0 -> 4.1 on an Asus PII motherboard and it went pretty flawlessly. The only problem I had was adding additional disks --- I had to go to single user mode before /stand/sysinstall would touch them. I suppose that's a safety/security compromise that's not unreasonable. -- Alan Batie ______ www.rdrop.com/users/alan Me alan@batie.org \ / www.qrd.org The Triangle PGPFP DE 3C 29 17 C0 49 7A \ / www.pgpi.com The Weird Numbers 27 40 A5 3C 37 4A DA 52 B9 \/ www.anti-spam.net NO SPAM!
