----- Original Message ----- From: "Gregory Bond" <gnb@itga.com.au> | >When I get the initial boot menu I have a choice of F1 for DOS, F2 for | >FreeBSD and F5 for Disk 2. I cannot choose F2 -- all I get is a beep, | >it will not timeout to that choice either. | | We had the same problem. It seems there is some sort of problem with the new | 1024-byte boot0 on the HP XA boxes. John Baldwin was going to send me some | debugging boot0s but he's obviously been busy. | | Our workaround was to install the 512-byte boot0 from the 4.0 CD. We did this | by booting the 4.1 CD, using the 4.1 Fixit floppies (because the 4.1 Fixit CD | didn't work!), then copying the boot0 from a 4.0 CD into /boot, then using | boot0cfg to install it. No 4.0 CD here, just 3.4. Would you email it to me? What BIOS version do your XAs have? I did a quick run-through of the release notes for 11.10 and there was no mention of any boot snafus, which only means there's no Windows problems :( To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
