Summary: FreeBSD warnings during installation
Keywords: FreeBSD
X-Newsreader: Trumpet for Windows [Version 1.0 Rev A]

Hi all,
I have just installed FreeBSD 1.1.5.1 on my machine but..
during installation I got several warnings 

When the kernel boots with many other information about 
device drivers I got 
"sea: board type unknown at address 0xf000c8000"
Didn't it like my VGA BIOS? :)

Just  when begin installation the system was unable to find a label of the 
harddrive and printed
wd0: "Cannot find label (no disk label) "

Every time during copying distribution sets from high density disketees 
from a: I got 
"fd0: readl failed ST0 70 <abnmrl seek_cmplt_equ_chek> cyl 0"
but the copying process goes  well

Once I got the  message
"NMI port 61 60 port 70 ff port 461 60
the previous warning no more apeeared anymore.

Can anyone tell me what these messages mean?
Interested

Wojtek
