Hi guys Can anyone give me any reason why BX should fail - tryig to install FreeBSD 4.7 on an old machine from CDROM. The machine loads a very old version of FreeBSD from hard drive (password long forgotten) so it seems to be running OK - it auto loads X windows - so the nachine seems to be running fine. Here is the output that I do not understand ;-( : int=00000000 err=00000000 efl=00030287 eip=0000ffff eax=0000ffff ebx=000055aa ecx=00004f12 edx=00000000 esi=0000003d edi=00000000 ebp=00000000 esp=0000fffc cs=f000 ds=00fc es=3147 fs=0000 gs=0000 ss=9e7c cs=:eip:00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 -00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 ss:esp:= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 - 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 BTX Halted Any hints?

I'd like to know what those of us experiencing this problem can do to assist towards determining a solution. I hope my pr submission to a closed pr was not the right action to take - perhaps someone could let me know? Wayne
