Machine 486-66 256meg PCI 2940Adaptec, SMC EtherPower PCI, Onboard NCR PCI. One 1.gig Seagate. trying to install 2.0.5-ALPHA. NFS/FTP don't work for me, but it's the way my Network is set up. I have 34 machines connected to Novell servers/Linux/Dos/WIN95/NT/Os2 Linux server connected using SLIP 28.8 modem. On the drive I have it part.ed 500megs dos, 475 FreeBSD 25 for Swap. FreeBSD picks up everything all the hardware, and it seems to be correct. I have ftp'd all files , and made exact diroties on Dos part. c:\freebsd\bin etc.... Added the mount points /dos / swap then I tried media Dos I got Error mounting sd0s1 on /dos: No such file or directory (2) Alt-f2 Warning: calculated sectors per cylinder (3880) disagrees with disk label (2048) /dev/rsd0a: 972800 sectors in 256 cylinders of 1 tracks, 3880 sectors 475.0mb in 16 cyl groups ......... Debug: mount /mnt/dev/sd0s1 /mnt/dos then I tried the floppy install. it gave an error on the root disk, not a gzip file, unexpect end of file. so I was told to try -c and turn off everything but the things I have. that fixed the root disk problem. But then I got Error mounting floppy rfd0 (/dev/rfd0) on /mnt: Debug: initFloppy: mount floppy /dev/rfd0 on /mnt Debug: Switching back to VTY 0 Anyone know what the cause of this is?
