AP #1(PHY#1) panic!

I get this weird error once I start the default installation.

AP #1 (PHY#1) panic! [y] bye-bye

How can I fix this?
 
Use sysctl command to enable or disable (after booting into system)
Code: 
sysctl kern.smp.disabled
sysctl kern.smp.disabled=0
sysctl kern.smp.disabled=1
Where, 0 - off / false and 1 - on / true. To make it permanent add to /etc/sysctl.conf:
Code: 
echo 'sysctl kern.smp.disabled=1' >>/etc/sysctl.conf
See
sysctl()
sysctl.conf()
 
You can do that (change a sysctl(8)) on an already installed system only. It looks like you need a non-SMP kernel installed, which leads to a chicken-egg problem, because GENERIC is always SMP nowadays... Try a few times, because that link seems to suggest that it works at least some of the time. Right after a successful first installation, set the sysctl in sysctl.conf(5) immediately.
 
Probably/possibly, though it is not in the Kernel Tunables section of /boot/defaults/loader.conf (I assumed that was a finite list).
 
Thanks for the help guys! Got it to work but now I need to burn the 3 cds. (I was using UNetBootin before)
 
What do you want to achieve? You said you were doing an install, so I guess you already have something to do that with, like the bootonly CD, or CD1?
 
I used UNetBootin for the boot menu. It downloaded the bootdisc I guess, so I just need disc 1, 2, and 3?
 
Not necessarily. Loads of people only use the bootonly CD to get the base system up and running, and then perform the rest of the installation (csup(1), portsnap(8), pkg_add(1) etc.) over the net, without installing anything from a CD/DVD. If you want to install everything from local media only (packages, ports tree, documentation), you will need all three CDs or the DVD.
 
Yeah, I need to burn them on a cd because it doesn't want to download it over the net. So I just need to download disc1.iso, disc2.iso and disc3, then pop them in when I choose to install from a cd, right?
 
I guess. I haven't done a CD-based install in ages. I think the number of ISOs is now up to four (the fourth being documentation/handbooks).
 
Ah, if it's only the docs and handbook: I guess I won't be needing it much right now. Thanks for the help, Daemon

Click to expand...

No it is not finite list. On loader prompt(including loader.conf) you can enter any available sysctl variable and any available hints variable (/boot/device.hints have only some small proportion of possible examples)
