BTX loader 1.00 BTX verion is 1.01
AcerAltos 9000V 2xP100, 56Mb in 8 SIMMs, AIC7880P
>Description:
When booting from installation diskettes ACER BIOS shows following:
Base Memory      :    640 KB
Extended Memory  :  56320 KB
while BTX loader shows another picture:
BIOS 639kB/1070100kB available memory
And when the loader starts kernel PC's screen flashes several times and machine reboots. While the screen is flashing I can see a part of 'To many holes at ... memory' message.
My older FreeBSD boot loader shows following and everything worked well
>How-To-Repeat:
Every try to install the system.

Nope :(
