Hi,

The specific "heap full" issue that can be triggered by using a single large

(bsd.rd/installer) for 6.3 or 6.4 from a USB key, then something else is
presumably up (unless you're actually trying to load the installed kernel or
ramdisk from the hard disk).
some time passed, but I have new information.
Essentially, booting from USB key proved sometimes unreliable. I burned
a CD-CDROM and am able to do the following
- boot from cd and at the bootload prompt
- "bood hd0a:bsd"
and boot into a fully working 6.4 installation.
This is of course a little cumbersome as a workaround. Can I fix it?
I attempted to install "biosboot" of 6.3: I extracted 6.3, used 6.4
installboot to install mdec/biosboot from 6.3
It does not help though.
What else could I try, given that the bootloader of the CD appears to
work fine?
