I still can't get the FBSD 6.0 mini ISO to boot on my 500AU, regardless of which drive I try (I've tried 3, 2 of them being writers, 1 of them a modern DVD-RW/CD-RW). The NetBSD 3.0 installer boots just fine Could it be that the 6.0 bootloader is incompatible with whatever release of the SRM firmware I have, or that the kernel is too big to load? NetBSD was burnt using the same type of media as FreeBSD was, and I tried burning the FreeBSD installer multiple times on multiple OSes using multiple different pieces of software. The message I'm getting is: http://siksai.co.uk/~rhowe/alpha-no-workie.txt -- Russell Howe | Why be just another cog in the machine, rhowe@siksai.co.uk | when you can be the spanner in the works?
