Hi I am a newbie trying to get into freebsd. I have downloaded the the floppies kern.flp and msroot.flp. I have been able to boot with these floppies. However, where it gets to the ftp installation (I do not have a CD rom), I do not know what to put in the following boxes Gateway: IP Address Host : server Domain: Netmask Extra options to iconfig : *Do I have to get an IP address on my box before I can install via ftp ? Which of these do I need ... ppp or slip ? I'm using a network system(i.e. we have a wired network ...which I have connected my computer.) Please come to my aid....anybody Thank you ! I will appreciate a direct reply. PS: I have ascess to a unix box which is also part of the network. Is there a way I can get the installattion on the PC via the SGI irix box ?
