Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG I want to run FreeBSD on my 386, but I wanted to make sure FreeBSD would detech my hardware, etc. I was on my other computer, and I downloaded the boot disk, and put it on a floppy using the quickstart instructions. That went smoothly. I put the disk in my 386 and rebooted it. It started reading the disk, then rebooted, at first I thought it to be normal, until it started doing a loop of reboots. I read the FAQ reasons/fixes for it, but they didn't apply to me. I took the same boot disk and it booted fine on my i586. Why does it keep rebooting on my 386 ?
