Hey,
I owe a Dell Optiplex GX1 - which i try to install FreeBSD 6.0.
When i boot from the CD, BIOS drive CD gets recognized:
BTX loader 1.00
...
BIOS CD is cd0
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
then, the bootstrap follows
Loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf
/boot/kernel/kernel text=0x482d70 data=0x81140+0x9cb04
syms=[0x4+0x644b0+0x4+0x7a4fc)
Consoles: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive C: is disk0
and here we are:
Can't work out which disk we are booting from.
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffff not fund by probes, defaulting to disk0:
can't load 'kernel'
...
OK _
What can i do, that i can install FreeBSD? Can i indicate cd0: on the
bootprompt?
BTW. i tried it also on 5.4 - same effect...
Thanks for your help.
Roger
