Hi all. I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.9 onto a Nexcom blade (model HDB31670). Both Debian and Windows install OK, however FreeBSD panics on boot from the CDROM (full output is below). I've dried disabling DMA and setting the PIO mode manually with no effect. I've also tried googling, but I haven't seen anything resembling this problem. The CDROM is a mini-ISO, but I've also tried a disc1 ISO, and both were known good burns that have worked on other hardware, and whose MD5 sums match. I'm hoping that there's someone else out there with similar hardware to this who can offer some advice... Thanks in advance. Cheers, Aled.
