Top Forums UNIX for Dummies Questions & Answers Device Probe freezes after detecting Ethernet address while installing FreeeBSD 7.0 Post 302274355 by ideogon on Wednesday 7th of January 2009 12:13:22 PM

Progress...sort of

I've actually been able to get past this part once. It continued into the installation menu. I was able to configure the system and then when I set it to boot from the CD/DVD, it said that the CD/DVD drive isn't supported.

Did some Googling and apparently that even though the BIOS recognizes my DVD (and thus loaded the installation menu from it) doesn't mean that the FreeBSD installation recognizes my DVD drive. According to FreeBSD's site, it should recognize any ATAPI CD/DVD drive, which it is according to the BIOS. I went back into the BIOS and realized that the drive was being recognized, however, as slave and not master, so I reconnected it as slave (confirmed this in the BIOS) and rebooted, speculating that this is the underlying issue of FreeBSD not supporting my CD/DVD drive.

However, now I cannot get past this point (after probing the Ethernet address) in the device probe in order to continue on to the FreeBSD installation menu.

Any ideas...?
