It doesnt support booting from the cdrom, so i: dd if=kern.flp of=/dev/fd0 and the same for mfsroot.flp then, i boot with the kern disk on, then it asks me for the mfsroot disk, and when i insert it, and press enter, the message "cant find /mfsroot" appears on the screen. i tried this process with 3 different disks, eliminating the problem to be the floppy. I asked aroung irc ( #freebsdhelp @ efnet ) i searched in the handbook but it doesnt mention my problem. After this error, the kernel boots, and when trying to mount root, it errors and says it cant find init. What should i do ? - Miguel ( Portugal ) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
