So i had 5.1 Beta loaded with no problems (disk2), other then the network io
was REALLY slow when every the disks did anything. Someone posted a irq
patch that needed testing, so i updated to current and applied the patch.
after build(world|kernel) install(world|kernel) and mergemaster the system
was never the same. I can no longer boot FreeBSD. I reinstalled 5.1 beta,
no joy. I installed 5.1R on same drive (newfsed). Then thinking something
in the installed hosed eeprom i did a set-defaults. still no joy, so i
tried installing on a different disk. same thing. It always hangs at the
same point. The odd thing is Solaris boots with no issues. This is the only
thing i get on the console. I also don't have serial port access so this
is a pen & paper screen dump. BTW disk 1 is solaris, and if there is
anything i can do from solaris to help just let me know. Disk 2 and 3
are FreeBSD 5.1R.
