Hello all,

I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.5-stable-iso from yesterday and I have
the same problem like with 4.5-release: After probing the sistem hangs
when trying to mount root from md.

My box is a VAIO SRX41P with the PC-CARD CDROM. I have no Disk-Drive so
unfortunately I can't check floppy-boot.

I think this has something to do with PC-Card. I can remember I had a
similar problem when PXE-booting a Soekris Net4501 (CF-Memory, no ATA).

Right now I'm downloading DP1 to check it with 5.0.

Just to mention: Booting OpenBSD is working but CD is not supported.

Suggestions are welcome (BIOS doesn't boot USB-CD, no Floppy available,
no Firewire CD, PXE-Boot possible but first I'll try 5.0).

Thanks,

-Harry
