Help: Can anyone provide me with enough advice to load FreeBSD? The scenario: Pentioum w/ three hard drives, and I'm trying to load BSD on the third one with NT 4. I'm not sure I understood the instructions correctly, but I interpreted the 1024 cylinder issue to mean that I should set a small BSD early in the diskdrive. So I've got a FAT to install NT (500 MB), a BSD (500 MB), free space (500 MB for a later LINUX install), about 2.5 GB for NT, about 1.5 GB for BSD, and some more for LINUX. I obviously want to load the boot loader. I've eliminated all of the conflicts from the H/W list, and also removed all those items that were not found during the system interrogation. I get through all of the screens, mount "/", swap, and "/usr". Do all of the good stuff and presto I'm done. It tells me there were difficulties and to check the VTY1 (or whatever it's called). There is nothing reported there. However, when I quit the install there seems to be a message that it couldn't find C? I don't understand. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I've been told for 15 years that UNIX is a great system, but every time (well is MicroPort a time?) I run into some rather obtuse problem that really seems to negate the claims, i.e. I knocked out an NT installation trying to sort through this a week ago. I'd really like to try this baby out.
