I am attempting to upgrade my system from 4.9 to 5.3-RELEASE. I removed my 4.9 partition using /stand/sysinstall. Next, I booted from the mininstall CD, and a menu with the beastie and seven boot options is presented. When I attempt any of the boot options, it gives errors and warns me of an "Automatic reboot in 15 seconds".
The lines leading up to this warning are: *** ep0: eeprom failed ot come ready. ep0: ep_alloc() failed! (6) panic: resource_list_release: resource entry is not busy Uptime: 1s Shutting down ACPI **** If I choose too boot without ACPI, then that particular warning is removed. I am able to "exit to loader prompt" from the initial menu, but I cannot (that I know of) run /stand/sysinstall to begin the installation from here. Booting in Safe Mode and Single User Mode fail similarly. What should I do to properly install FreeBSD 5.3-RELEASE? The PC is an older Gateway Essential, with a Pentium III chip in it. It has Windows 2000 currently installed on a separate partition.
