Hello! I have and old IBM PS/ValuePoint with 486DX33 16MB RAM and 1.7GB HDD. I installed FreeBSD 4.5 but it displays: No /boot/loader when booting and continues to boot kernel. Because of that I cannot use "top" and my network card does not work. As I understand problem is connected with 528MB limit in BIOS. /boot/boot2 cannot find /boot/loader and therefore /boot/kernel.conf is not executed (network card is configured there). I configured the disk like this: <swap> - 64M / - the rest of the disk maybe I needed to make something like this: /boot ~ 20M / - the rest of the disk <swap> - 64M I found a link telling that it is not a problem: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/install.html#DISK-MANAG ER But I could not find out how to fix it. BIOS shows that it is 528MB disk. Freebsd finds that it is 1705MB with 3303/16/63 (C/H/S) Any help would be appreciated. Thanx!
