I want to install FreeBSD 9.1 by USB DVD ROM on X9DRi-LN4F+ with 24x 16GB memories. The installation hangs up on 'mountroot' screen and keyboard does not respond anymore. Do you have solution for this?
The problem is that USB device does not work on FreeBSD 9.1 when memory is over 320GB. You can follow below procedures for workaround:
1. Boot up install CD, press [2] or [ESC] key to loader prompt then set kernel parameters as below and continues installation process.
OK kern.maxbcache="128M"
OK vfs.maxbufspace=134217728
OK boot
2. Select 'Yes' when this message comes up: "The installation is now finished. Before exiting the installer, would you like to open a shell in the new system to make any final manual modifications?"
3. Use vi to add new file /boot/loader.conf with below contents:
kern.maxbcache="128M"
vfs.maxbufspace=134217728
4. Save it and continue the normal installation procedure.
