As I recall, 3.x and up require at least 12MB RAM to install and 8MB to run. Try adding another 4+MB to the machine and see how it works out for you. -Otter }-----Original Message----- }From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }[mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Adam Kress }Sent: Sunday, November 12, 2000 11:53 PM }To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG }Subject: Old timer PC } } }Hi, }got a small question, I have a machine here that is an OLD }386 with 4 megs }of ram. I took a 500 meg hard drive and installed }freeBSD-3.4-RELEASE on }that drive while it was in another machine. the machine I }installed it on is }a PIII 450 with 352 megs of ram. I set up the file system in }it like so: }64 megs as a swap partition }436 as the / (root) partition }or slices, it booted fine in the machine that I installed it }on. When I put }the drive in the OLD machine it gets to the normal boot }process till this }error comes up: }changing root device to wd0s1a }pid5 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space }from there it is stopped. I'm currently searching for }parameters to pass to }boot, but I'm not having any luck. I'm hoping someone might }be able to help. }I'm going to see if I can jam anymore ram in it later. }Thanks in advance. }Adam Kress } } } }To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org }with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
