I have a DEC AlphaStation 200 and am trying to install 19990206-SNAP. I am able to create the boot floppies just find and the machine boots fine, but when I go to choose the media type and select floppies, I get an error message that tells me the floppy drive is not found. Also, I checked the Hardware doc and made sure that the hardware settings are correct. does anyone have any ideas? the command i use to boot from the SRM is >>>boot dva0 if that helps. I would greatly appreciate any help at all. thanks -Philip To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
