Help! I have tried for several hours now to load freebsd on a computer attached to my network. This computer does not have a cdrom. The installation cdrom was received with a book named "UNIX System Administrator's Bible" from IDG Books. All files in the bin directory on the installation disk have been copied across the network to the target hard drive under a directory named freebsd. A boot disk has been made per installation instructions. When the target machine boots, it comes up with an option for the configuration utility. After all conflicts have been resolved/deleted, <Q> is pressed, then <Y> is pressed. I then get the following: panic: bounce memory out of range reboot in 15 seconds If I let it reboot, it gives me a page fault error. Then boots again back to the configuration choice screen. The target machine is a unisys running a 100 mhz pentium with 64k of memory. It has a fd controller and 2 IDE hd controllers built in on the motherboard. It has a 3com 3c503 NIC in an ISA slot. The mouse and keyboard are both PS2 styled. The floppy is standard 3.5. The hard disk is a 2.5 gig with nothing on it except the aforementioned copied files and Windows for Workgroups. If a floppy is not installed, the machine will boot into WWG and access the network. I know absolutely nothing about UNIX. What am I doing wrong?
