System: Dell OptiPlex GXpro disks: wd0: Quantum 3GB, two NTFS partitions, the first bootable wd1: Quantum 516MB, 1 freebsd partition install using floppies and ftp (ftp.au.freebsd.org) 'novice' install appears to complete successfully on boot I get two options "F1 ??" "F5 disk1" "Default F1:" selecting F1 boots NT successfully selecting F5 bring up a new menu "F1 FreeBSD" "F5 disk0" "Default F1:" selecting F1 almost immediately results in a dump of the registers and the message "system halted". [ The screen hasn't been cleared, or scrolled by messages about device probing, the problem is early on. ] Any suggestions as to whats wrong and how to fix it ?
