The transfer rate from the CD is quite slow: 1-2 kbs. 2. The message for the first 102 chunks states the destination directory as `/' not `/usr' as I would expect for the binaries 3. Several packages "cannot be read from cd0" 4. As expected, the system fails to boot after starting to load. Things I done based on the FAQ and other documentation: 1. Set `eisa 12' so that the probe works 2. Disabled >1GB translation in BIOS 3. Adjusted the geometry of the hard drive so it agrees with the BIOS (Phoenix) (1023/64/32). 4. Allocated the entire disk: non-dangerously, standard MBR In addition, I've verified that all the hardware works by installing Linux (RH5.1) with no difficulties. >How-To-Repeat: Try to install >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: State-Changed-From-To: open->feedback State-Changed-By: iedowse State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 9 16:16:44 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Have you tried installing a newer release of FreeBSD on this machine? http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12923 State-Changed-From-To: feedback->closed State-Changed-By: iedowse State-Changed-When: Mon Jul 9 16:27:18 PDT 2001 State-Changed-Why: Mail to submitter bounces. http://www.FreeBSD.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=12923 >Unformatted:
