Comments/Problems:
I want to install the amd64 kfreebsd version of Squeeze. Right after the computer says "Boot from CD/DVD:" I come to the grub prompt and it says:
"Minimal BASH-Like line editing is supported. For the first word, TAB lists possible command completions. Anywhere else TAB lists the possible completions of a device/filename"
A list of commands is available, for example normal, boot, help, kfreebsd. I've tried these, but it just says "error: no kernel loaded.". I just can't get to the install menu, or whatever it's called.
It's just the kfreebsd versions that give this problem (I've tried i386 kfreebsd too). The linux version works.
