The title of those = CDs is "Free BSD 2.2.6, A full 4.4 BSD Lite Based 32 bit Operating system' from Walnut Greek CDROM. My system is Pentium PC with 32MB ram + a PCI network card + PCI VGA = card. In the same system, I have tried to install Linux, QNX, and Windows = NT/98/95 as well successfully, but I could not install Free BSD successfully on = that PC. I tried to install Free BSD on a new harddisk without having any operating system on it, and with a dos partition on the harddisk. The problem appears at the same. I followed the installation instructions to install Free BSD from a IDE CD-ROM drive. Everything seemed to be okay during installation, but = after re-boot the machine, the error message 'panic: cannot mount root' came = out and the system kept rebooting every 15 seconds. I would appreciate any = help on this. I also found that there were no source codes at /usr/src/sys directory = under disc #2. I think that it should be there because this disc is included = all uncompressed files. Not sure if there are anything wrong with the CDs. Thanks.
