hi y'all i now have 5.3-release installed and running fine, but i had to use three different boot floppies to get into the install procedure. If i insert CD1 and turn my pc on, it gives me something that looks like a hexdump right before it should show the boot prompt.. and then reboots. I spent a whole day googling for this issue but couldn't find anyone who has had this same problem. does anyone here know what it is/could be, because i would like to be able to boot the cd instead of using the only floppy i still have and copying the boot image onto that, waiting for freebsd to ask for the next, copy the next image.. etc. etc.. it's a dell dimension M200s (200Mhz) btw, and the 4.x series boot cd works just fine. -- Met vriendelijke groet, Bas Essers
