Disk re-sliced with FDISK'd into 3 bootables:.
6.0-RELEASE works rl0 with No Problem.
7.1-BETA-i386-disc1.iso reinstalled, same as before, fails as before.
6.3-RELEASE-i386-disc1.iso loading from slow cdrom, wiil test next
+ building 6.3 DESTDIR on another host.
7.1-BETA2-i386-disc1.iso loading from net
6.4-RC will load next from net.
So that PC's BIOS is quite happy to work with 6.0, so not my hardware
at fault, So FreeBSD seems to have some regression error problem
(& from my earlier posts, its not just an rl0 problem as I saw same
problem when I swapped a card to xl0).
I'll report back tomorrow when I know more. No point asking more
questions just yet, as all I know so far was answered & is in archive
of this thread, & I cant do more till downloads & builds complete.
So this post just to say the problem I reported is probably not
dismissable just as weird hardware.
Cheers,
Julian
