I am trying to install FreeBSD Release 3.0 from my C: drive.=20 I have copied Release 3.0 into a directory called 'C:\FreeBSD' and it = has the bin, catpages, compat1 etc. inside of it and the installation = files inside the bin, catpages etc.. I have made a boot floppy, booted, configured the kernel with my = devices, made a partition for FreeBSD (some is above the 1024 cylynder = limit) and let it have the automatic label sizes and mount partitions. I = have assigned my 'C:' drive to '/dos_c'. I selected my installation packages and chose my media as a DOS = partition and correctly pointed it toward my 'C:' drive. I made sure = everything was commited and started the install. It then complains that = it cannot find/install 'bin, catpages' etc. (all of them). They *ARE* on = my 'C:' drive, and I did give it the right drive. On console 2, it has a few things, including the mounting of the 'C:' = drive under '/dist'. Interestingly it complains that it cannot find cp = and ls a couple of times. What is going wrong? I installed R2 last year fine on a different PC. I = cannot think of what is wrong. Any suggestions, Jamie Burns. ------=_NextPart_000_0004_01BE1A57.A572E580 Content-Type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD W3 HTML//EN"> <HTML> <HEAD> <META content=3Dtext/html;charset=3Diso-8859-1 = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D'"MSHTML 4.72.3110.7"' name=3DGENERATOR> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>Hello..</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I am trying to install FreeBSD = Release 3.0 from=20 my C: drive. </FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I have copied Release 3.0 into a = directory=20 called 'C:\FreeBSD' and it has the bin, catpages, compat1 etc. inside of = it and=20 the installation files inside the bin, catpages etc..</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I have made a boot floppy, booted, = configured=20 the kernel with my devices, made a partition for FreeBSD (some is above = the 1024=20 cylynder limit) and let it have the automatic label sizes and mount = partitions.=20 I have assigned my 'C:' drive to '/dos_c'.</FONT></DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2></FONT> </DIV> <DIV><FONT color=3D#000000 size=3D2>I selected my installation packages = and chose my=20 media as a DOS partition and correctly pointed it toward my 'C:' drive. = I made=20 sure everything was commited and started the install.
