Hi, I am a new user of Free BSD, the only exp. I had was the > installation of Slackware Linux 20 or so times. I am having problems > installing Free BSD 2.2.7 > I can get Free BSD to install, but I am having two problems: > 1: After the installation of system I was prompted to run XF86Setup, I > assumed that this will be similar to the same command in Linux, and > others told me that it willswitch to graphic mode. But it didn't. The > program asked me to wait and I see on the screen " this will take a > while ", after a while, there was nothing, the program just stoped and > went straight to the next section, prasorted packages I did not have a > chance to spacify my vedio card or anything. And I did not see any user > interface. I am pretty sure that was not right. 2: > After finally geting everything to install, I quit the installation > program, and the program told me to remove floppy and it will reboot. > Then it reboots, the computer give me the boot manager choise to chose > between HD1 and HD2, I choose Free BSD, it started to load, but after it > detects my 2 HDs, it says Intel Pentium FOOF detected installing > workaround > changing root device to wd1s1a > panic cannot mount root > reboot > It happened everytime after I install the thing, and I did all the clean > installation too, I reformatted the HD and devoted the entire HD to BSD.
