Subject:   boot disk gets stuck probing wd0 with 2.2.6 floppy
Message-ID:  <199803251643.LAA04676@granite.sentex.net>

next in thread | raw e-mail | index | archive | help

I dont know if its just my wonky hardware or not, but
I downloaded the new 2.2.6 boot floppy with the intention
of upgrading my stable box to the release version.


All seems to boot fine, but when it goes to the "probing
devices", the system seems to get stuck in a loop.  When
I booted with the -v, the message that keeps coming up
forever is

wd0s1: type 0xa5, Start 63, end=4124705, size 4124673:OK


When I boot the old system, here is all the hardware info
