VIA EPIA and FreeBSD 4.8

[paul van den bergen]

Hi all.

<mode=sheepish>

I found the problem.
I had a faulty version of (both) the disk 1 and disk 2 iso's. this must have 
occured during ftp'ing the isos from the local site and I didn't bother 
checking the MD5s - it has been so long since I have had a faulty ftp 
download.... anyhoo, I will now be using an automatic checksum checking ftp 
program recommended by a friend.

all this was made far less identifyable by also having an intermittently 
faulty RAM chip on one of the 4 boards.... the board I chose to start on 
first.

anyhoo, you live and learn and relearn and relearn and forget and relearn 
again....
