If I've come to the wrong list with this, please redirect me.
I have a brand new Dell T110, 2.53ghz Xeon 3440, 8gb [2x4gb] ram, 4x1tb
Hitachi SAS hd, Apple USB keyboard and mouse [just to cover all the
hardware]
Booting 8.2-RC3 amd64 disc1 looks good through all the bright-white
text, but it's hard to read scrolling by that fast :) then shows one
line of normal-bright text:
/stand/sysinstall running as init on vty0
then hangs, never gets to the blue install screens.
This is new hardware to me, but it loads Ubuntu 10.04 amd64 and OpenBSD
4.8 amd64 fine, so I'm assuming it's not flaky hardware.
I'd be happy to try any patches or debugging tips, but this is my only
amd64 box and since I can't yet get FreeBSD onto it, it would have to be
something I don't have to build.
Thanks.
