I have recently purchased the FreeBSD 2.0.5 CD from Walnut Creek CD-ROM.
I tried to install but during the boot from the FreeBSD boot disk the
computer reboots about 3 seconds after I hit enter to start with a
default boot. Prior to getting 2.0.5 I had messed with installing 2.0 and
never had this problem. I am using an ALR Evolution ST Pentium 90. I
reviewed the docs but could find no reference to this problem. Any ideas
on what could be causing this problem? Thanks in advance.
