Hello, I have been trying to install FreeBSD onto my PS/1 for a couple of hours and haven't been able to get the boot floppy to work. I tried just letting it boot, and with a '-c' option from the boot: prompt. All It freezes after a few lines of init stuff and a few seconds and repeatedly outputs this line indefinitely: Error: C:64 H:0 S:4 Now I know I had a problem getting Linux to work on my system because for some reason, IBM doesn't store any hard drive geometry in bios, but I got around that by giving cylinders, heads, and sectors at the boot prompt. Is this the problem, or should I just accept the fact that the PS/1 with all its proprietary inadequacies just isn't the system for FreeBSD? Thanks for your time! - Patrick - splice@sunset.backbone.olemiss.edu
