I'm trying to boot FreeBSD-9.0-RC3-ia64-release.iso on a zx6000 (1.3GHz Itanium 2). I've checked the md5sums of the iso and verified that it burned correctly. When booting from the iso I get the following output on screen:
At that point the machine does a hard reset and the internal speaker plays the little "something has gone wrong" tune followed by 6 beeps indicating HP's "crisis recovery procedure". It takes about 60 seconds from when it starts booting to when it resets.
This is my first time trying to install FreeBSD so I'm not sure if I'm doing something braindead, but other installations on this machine (e.g., Debian) have gone without trouble. I'm installing 9.0-RC3 instead of 8.2 because I wanted ZFS dedup.
Has anyone any experience with the ia64 installation or knows what could be going wrong? Thanks.
Code:
