>Description:

FreeBSD v4.5
Attempting Freshload  i386 model on P3-733 w384 MB RAM

	

Attempting to load during the CD Kernel boot, setup locks directly after
detecting Parrallel/Serial devices, if i reboot machine and modify kernel
before setup and remove everything (ie serial) it will lock at parallel or
just keep going back a step, I ahve succesfully loaded numerous machines
with my cds following same procedure, this is a really rare occurance seeing
as I have already in the past, and still presently have freebsd running on
this machine

>How-To-Repeat:

	

According to my knowledge I have no way to make you repeat this, I know not
what comes after detecting the parrallel/serial devices, have never
encountered this error before.

>Fix:

 Have you checked you BIOS/CMOS Settings.  It would be also good, if you
 put PNP/OS in
 BIOS to a false value; as this was always causing a problem.  I had this
 problem too,
 but it was solved by disabling this option (PNP/OS).
 
 Also, try poking around with you BIOS settings, as this will get your
 system
 to boot into FreeBSD.  Most of the times, when the probe fails, that
 means it
 either something to do with you hardware, or with the clever BIOS! :)

Where you able to get FreeBSD to boot on your 
machine after changing the BIOS setting for PNP?

Feedback timeout. If this is still an issue you might have more 
luck asking questions@ if you describe your HW. Someone might 
have a similar configuration.
