Hi, I have just installed freebsd 2.0.5 off the walnut creek cdrom onto a 75mhz pentium with 16mb memory, 1gb eide disk and panasonic cdrom drive attached to a soundblaster card. I have done an install of everything including sources. I am unable to boot without disabling most of the kernal drivers using boot -c, if i don't do this the monitor seems to loose it vertical hold and i just see scrolling lines. When attempting to build a tuned kernal it gets to near the end then fails with the error loading kernal kern_sysctl.o: undefined symbol '_hw_float' referenced from text segment *** error code 1 Has anyone seen this before / does anyone know a fix. also when attempting to start X11 (via startx) i get the error "no screens" just at the point you would expect X11 to start, what exactly does "no screens" mean, have i removed to many drivers from the kernal. I have grep'ed thru the FAQ's and will continue looking thru the documentation but if anyone has a quick answer i would be very grateful Thanks in advance.
