This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_0000_01C05E22.C4000AD0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Dear Sirs, I recently received my FreeBSD 4.4 CDROM Set (4 CDROMs), and am having trouble getting past the boot up process. First let me set your mind at ease, I have a very good understanding of computer hardware, software, and configuration from all the way through MSDOS 3.23 through Win 2000 Pro and have classroom experience recently with Unix System Administrator Course (Free BSD). Hopefully you should not have to start with did you turn the computer on question..... Anyway, The following is a list of my hardware, current O/S and synopsis of what I have done and what the result was: Hardware: ASUS P2B-F AGP Mainboard & Award Bios Intel Pentium II, 350mhz Celeron 128MB 168 pin DIMM Memory module 18Gbyte Hardrive space (3 Physical Drives) Matrox Millenium G200 8MB SGRAM AGP TEAC CD-524E IDE CDROM Drive Matsushita CW-7582 IDE CDR Drive IOMEGA Zip 250 Stdrd 3.5" Floppy Drive Current O/S: Win 2000 Professional V 5.00.2195 Synopsis of events undertaken: Action: Modified BIOS to allow CDROM Boot Result: Would not boot from CDROM gave the following error: "CDROM Boot Failure" Actions Taken: Read all txt files in the FreeBSD CDROM Root, Floppies, tools directories, and and followed instructions on setting up boot floppies as follows: Step 1. Modified BIOS to allow CDROM Boot: Received the following symptom: "CDROM Boot Failure" Step 2. Formatted floppies from in Win 2000 Pro utilizing the makeflp.exe located in FreeBSD CDROM Root, and it asked for 1 disk for the kern.flp and one for mfsroot.flp and the process completed with no problems. Step 3. Transferred image files from in Win 2000 Pro by running the FDimage.exe file to transfer image files of the kern and mfsroot .flp files to each of their respective disks. There were no errors displayed. Step 4. Re-Modified BIOS to boot primarily from A : Drive. Step 5. Put Floppy with Kern.flp into floppy drive and rebooted computer. Received the following symptoms: Disk Error 0x10 (lba=0xd8) Invalid Format >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0:a)/kernel boot: No /kernel >>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0:a)/kernel boot: NOTE: Cursor left flashing immediately following second "boot:" and no further action from computer. Step 6. Started at Step 1 again and retried each step, resulting in identical results. I am assuming that by the errors given that my computer will not support booting from CDROM, and the boot process could not find the kernel on the floppy disk, but I did not receive any errors when transferring the image file. Can you provide me some assistance? I am sure there is something that I have overlooked, or did incorrectly and greatly appreciate what ever assistance you can provide. Thanks in advance and look forward to your response.
