During the process, I discovered booting from the CD is broken(md5 verified, drive works), almost immediately after hitting:
Looking up /BOOT/LOADER...found I can't go to the loader prompt it reboots so quickly. I found this behavior strange, but Google revealed some others with same problems. Trudging on, I tried booting from the memstick version which appears to work and as left me with a bootable FreeBSD install(dual-boot). >How-To-Repeat: Boot from a FreeBSD install iso on a Dell Studio 1555 >Fix: Workaround: Install from memstick. >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted: _______________________________________________ freebsd-bugs@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-bugs To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-bugs-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
