I have a question, i am trying to install freebsd 2.1.6 ... i have: 486/66 125
meg ide drive, 8 megs ram, adaptec 152x scsi card, reno 2x cd-rom drive, a cdc
322 meg scsi drive, monochrome video card an ethernet card(nec2000 compat.)...
My system locks up after the install, when i exit the sysinstall, it locks up
when it tries to sync disks.. (if i remember correctly, resave the kernal and
other things..) ... i had freebsd setup on a different machine earlier, but
this one is giving me trouble.. i am using the exact same equipment as last
time, except for the edition of the ethernet card, and a different scsi HD
than the current one i am using.. other than the processor everything else is
exactly the same.. quesiton: would the different scsi drive i am using lock up
the syncing disks? i dont have another hd currently to test it with.. but this
happened on a 386 i tried to put it on also, and same result.. i took the
inner working out of the 386 and put it in this 486.. i tried without the
network card.. i dont have enough room for just the 1 125 meg ide drive to put
the whole system on, so i didnt want to check that yet.. but after it locks
up, i am forced to reboot, and i get something to the effect of:

C:-3xxxxxxxx  (bunch of numbers, cant remember off hand..) AFTER i get the
freebsd bootstrap.. i tried -c option, no luck, i am presuming the kernal cant
load cuz it wasnt saved? but what's locking up when it syncs disks? oh ya,
when it syncs disks it reports these numbers:

syncing disks... 66 33  [locks up here]

any help or if anyone wants the numbers that get printed out when i boot,
lemme know.. please respond via email, as i dont subscribe to the list..

thank you for all of your time.

i am trying to install freebsd 2.1 but i have a problem with freebsd not
finding my mitsumi cd-rom

ok here is the more in depth stuff

cd-rom type: mitsumi hex speed
firmware revision 1.00

i am running the cyrix 686 p120+100 cpu with a pentium mouther board, the
mouther board has 2 on board ide controlers curently the hard disk and
cd-rom are on diffrint controlers i would prefer it to stay this way the
hard disk is on irq 14 and port 1f0 and the cd-rom is on irq 15 and port 170

my sound card is un supported (it is a ESS)

when ever i setup cd-rom to be on irq 15 and port 170 it conflicts with the
port controler

i have also tryed to piggy back up the cd-rom to the hard disk but then the
cd-rom conflicts with the hard disk i cant get away from the port conflicts.

what can i do
                            thanks

Hi,

 I'd like to know how can I use the atapi and wcd loadable kernel modules
instead of the building them statically in the kernel, I mean what should
I change in the kernel config file(I suppose that I should) and do these
modules require any special treatment.

                        Thanks

                                        when it all seems so stupid?
