3 | 'hanging keyboard' |
4 | ------------------ | |
5 | There are still problems with certain machines appearing to 'hang' on | |
6 | bootup even though a prompt is there. The most common machines that | |
7 | exhibit these problems are Gateway 2000 machines with PHOENIX bios's but | |
8 | other machines with PHOENIX bios also exhibit this behavior. | |
9 | The temporary solution until you can get the distribution | |
10 | installed on your hard-drive is to 'bounce' on a key like shift or | |
11 | num-lock (which works well since you can see when the keyboard comes | |
12 | back to life) until the boot sequence is finished. The keyboard will | |
13 | work fine for installing FreeBSD onto the hard-drive. | |
14 | Generally the problems go away at this point, but if it doesn't | |
15 | you should install a SYSCONS kernel which doesn't experience these | |
16 | keyboard problems. | |

19 | The gdb in the release will not work on shared objects nor will it |
20 | work with C++ executables. Please use the gdb in the ports area for | |
21 | debugging shared and/or C++ code. | |

24 | The 3c509 driver will hang under heavy network loads and take your | |
25 | machine off network. (Though the machine will continue to run with | |
26 | no network facilities) | |

29 | DO NOT ATTEMPT TO REBUILD THE BOOT BLOCKS. There is currently | |
30 | a problem in that the boot block code has grown and if you build | |
31 | it with the new version of as and install them you will NOT BE | |
32 | ABLE TO BOOT YOUR SYSTEM. This problem will be fixed before | |
33 | the 1.1 release is ship, and should only exist with the 1.1 BETA | |
34 | release. | |
35 | ||
36 | The boot block binaries shipped with the 1.1 BETA release were | |
37 | built using an older version of as and can be installed safely. | |

40 | You can not have the root file system mounted on /dev/fd1a, it | |
41 | panics on you. This occurs when booting from floppy and answering | |
42 | the question for what drive the root file system is on with B. | |
43 | This will be fixed by the 1.1 release date. | |
