Hi: Well I have now pulled 2 all nighters trying to get FreeBSD up and running. I am having a problem that I can not troubleshoot! I can find nothing in the manual to help me solve this. Please help! I loaded the boot.flp off the net and made the disk I booted my Pentium computer with IDE 1gig HD and 16 megs mem with Ne2000 Ethernet card. I had to change the ethernet card address to 0320 in the config area by using -c during the boot. In this same config area I took out all the conflicts that showed up and made sure all my essentials were ok! At main menu I chose novice setup.... I use the (a) command in the disk setup area and then the a command again to auto config the disk I told the system to get the files via FTP from your site and it did it! I am on a T1 and am an ISP. After all the files were transferred I get the following message... "Unable to link /Kernel into place" I continued on and set up Apache and other options that all loaded and took fine. I then exited and the reboot began. The boot came up with F1 BSD F? when I hit F1 the thing freezes. What can I do? Do I have to get all the files again and start over to fix this. I have already done this 3 times to no avail. Please Please send any help you can. This has got to be something simple as all else went fine. I have deadlines to meet and could use the help! If you can be reached by phone and if that is easier please leave a number and a time to call. I can be reached by phone after 7pm eastern at 773-1130 or at support@computer.net via email. Thanks very much! Larry PS: Please be specific in any instructions you send as I still am not 100% on my unix stuff :)
