Followup-To: comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc Date: 03 Feb 1997 15:51:26 GMT Organization: Stanford University Lines: 18 Distribution: world Message-ID: <CASTOR.97Feb3075126@drizzle.Stanford.EDU> NNTP-Posting-Host: drizzle.stanford.edu Xref: euryale.cc.adfa.oz.au comp.unix.bsd.freebsd.misc:34990 I'm trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5 using the Walnut Creek CD-ROM onto a DEC Hinote Ultra 450 using an adaptec 1460 PCMCIA scsi adapter and a Sony CDU-76R CD-ROM. The system seems to hang after the kernel finishes detecting devices, and it clears the screen, (presumably to run sysinstall?). I booted the kernel by booting off an MS-DOS floppy, and then running 'install.bat' off the CD-ROM drive, so I don't think it's interference from Windows95, etc. I searched in Dejanews, and there seemed to have been some problems with the 1460 and the Hinote Ultra with timeouts. Can this have been the problem? I wouldn't have expected the sysinstall program to have already probed the CD-ROM. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
