I downloaded the ISO of 9.1.1 (x86), verified the checksum, and burned the image to a CD. I inserted the CD into the server and turned it on. The problem started when the FreeBSD/x86 bootstrap loader (R1.1) was doing its thing. There is a line that reads "/boot/kernel/kernel text=#### data=#### syms=[####". This line is followed by a spinning line: | / - \ |.

The spinning line spins slower and slower. The boot process never completes. The activity light on the CD-ROM blinks all the time, suggesting the system is still pulling data from the disc.

I've removed and disabled all the non-essential hardware. I am at a loss as to the problem or solution. Any ideas?

Please read the forum rules and provide information about item #2 under rule #3.

What non-essential hardware did you disable and/or remove?
