install headache (part 2)

[Nick Upson]

Hi,

I am trying to be systamatic about trying the combinations of variables, so
far nothing works properly

(2.0 rc3, go straight into install rather than run pfsense from the cd)

a) quick install, uni processor - hangs at the spinner after boot prompt
b) block mode off, uni processor - error about no boot loader
c) quick install, SMP processor - hangs at the spinner after boot prompt
d) quick install, SMP processor - hangs at the spinner after boot prompt
