      Hi,

      i tried to install the embedded image on a 128meg cf card.

      The system is an old 233MMX with 128megs of RAM (and for installing purposes a vga+keyboard), nevertheless running the m0n0 with that config was absolutely no problem.

      After i burned the cf by using phydiskwrite with no errors, i put the card into the cf-ide-adaptor.
      Booting resulted in a halt while loading /boot/defaults/loader.conf.
      I tried the stable 1.0.1 version also the 1.2RC3, everytime the same error.

      It shouldn't be a problem of accessing the cf-drive, it could be read til that loader.conf

      Didn't find any similar in this forum, would be thankful for any help or ideas …

        The embedded version does not have any VGA output. Connect and configue per Serial port.

        We do what we must, because we can.
