Hi all, my name is Kelly,
and I have download to Floppy disk the bin directory and the manpages, =
and the doc,
I have been attempting to install freebsd on a 486 dx with 12 megs of =
ram, I am doing the install from floppy, I have never worked with unix =
at all in my life. I am doing this as a teach myself type of project,
I made a installation disk from fdimage.exe and boot.flp,=20
mt only problem is I get thro the installation of bin , and manpages, =
and the doc, when the computer reboots, it say it can not find boot.cfg, =
boot.hlp, and it can not find Kernel.
I am not sure what I have done wrong, I have basically left everything =
at the default, but still nothing happens, as for the hardware on this =
computer, it is pertty much standard stuff, ie, ide hard disk, floppy =
drive, internal modem.......
I am guessing that the kernel should be on the disk some where, but =
during the install, I never did see a message "Installing Kernel to =
Disk, so I am not sure how to get it there.
Right now it just sit there and loops :)))
I would be graful for any help on this.
Keep in mind, I have never worked a unix system, I am a DOS / Windows =
user.
sincerly Kelly
