I decided to redo my whole machine, Windows and FreeBSD, (each has it's own hard drive). Have installed Windows 98 now, but can't get FreeBSD to install! I don't have the cd's, I've done it from both ftp and a dos partition, but now can't get either one to work. Windows is on drive C:, attempting FreeBSD on drive D:. I had planned to do a minimal install, restore my /usr/src files, cvsup and rebuild. I have the directories C:\FREEBSD, C:\FREEBSD\bin with all the files, and C:\FREEBSD\floppies with all the files except the pccard directory. Install says it can't find a primary dos partition. When I redid the disk, I use Western Digital's EZBios, and believe that may be causing the problem. What is throwing me is not getting my dialup to work. After configuration, I go to ALT-F4, then dial. Everything goes fine until my isp sends back my dynamic address. I get the error (if memory serves....): PPp ON brameld> Phase: 206.203.119.32: Unacceptable address! (May have left part of it out) I then get lost carrier and disconnect. Does this whether I use PAP or do it through term. I have always been successful with this method in the past, and haven't a clue as to what is going wrong. ALT-F2 seems to be giving good message results, although I had never looked at it when things were working. If anyone has an idea as to what may be going wrong, I would appreciate whatever help you can provide. As a side note, I've tried this with both the 3.3 and 3.4 RELEASE disks. Thanks people.
