Description Ilia Chipitsine 2000-01-23 17:10:01 UTC 
It installs,
then it loads kernel from SCSI
then kernel cannot find any SCSI :-(

try to install FreeBSD on similar ACERish horror before saying "it's not possible"

Fix: 

boot from floppy :-(	
or from IDE drive (haven't tried this one, cause there's no IDE drives)
How-To-Repeat: 
1.  order some ACER machine (preferably older one)
2.  order FreeBSD disks from Walnut Greek
2a. or download FreeBSD from ftp://ftp.freebsd.org
3. install FreeBSD on ACER machine

Hi

I'm going through old PRs and saw this from you:
        http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=16314

Did you resolve your boot problem? If not how did you resolve it?

Duncan
