I'm trying to install FreeBSD on a Dual Pentium Pro 200mhz 512K cache system and I am getting the
following error:
CD Loader 1.01
Building the boot loader arguements
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER... Found
Relocating the loader and the BTX

BTX halted
I've tried warm booting after this and I get the same results. I've tried 5.0-RELEASE, 5.0-DP1,
5.1-RELEASE, and three different snapshots, all of which work fine on my other machines, including one
other SMP box. It's also worth noting that 4.8-RELEASE and 4.9-RELEASE install fine on this box.
I can boot 4.9 and post a dmesg if that would help, but to briefly describe the hardware:
Intel PR440FX Mainboard
Dual Pentium Pro 200mhz 512K Cache CPUs
Adaptec 7880 SCSI controller
4.3 gig IBM Wide SCSI-2 Disks
Intel EtherExpress Pro LAN adapter
I've tried a couple different video cards, Cirrus Logis and SIS PCI
320 Megs of Registered ECC SDRAM
I've tried googling for a solution for this as well as perused the -CURRENT archives and haven't seen
anything relevent to this issue.
Thanks in Advance,
