Revision 1.5, Tue Oct 30 21:37:49 2007 UTC (16 years, 7 months ago) by tom
Branch: MAIN
Changes since 1.4: +19 -1 lines 

Older i386 BIOSes have problems booting CD1 for this release, as
the boot catalog is too far into the disk.  This erratum gives the
workaround using the amd64 boot CD2.

Many thanks to all the patient people who helped track down the issue.

Some older BIOSes are unable to boot CD1.
A workaround using CD2 (amd64 architecture) is as follows.<br>
<br>

<ol>
<li>Insert CD2 and tell your computer to boot it;<br>
<li>When the <tt>boot></tt> prompt appears, stop the automatic boot
by pressing the space bar;<br>
<li>Remove CD2 and insert CD1;<br>
<li>Erase the character you typed to stop the boot, type<br>
<tt><b>boot /4.2/i386/bsd.rd</b></tt><br>
then press <i>Enter</i>.
