Sorry to bother you, but I keep getting stuck at the same spot on the installation. I've tried dozens of times over the past week with several boot and root disks trying to do a floppy install and I keep getting hung when I try to load the root floppy. Also, though I'm not sure if it is supposed to boot without the root floppy installed, but if I try to boot straight from my hard drive instead of using the boot floppy I get the same prompt as with the boot floppy but instead of going to the install menu the opening message and prompt just keep repeating. To complicate things a bit, this is a machine that I just built, so I was wondering if this could be caused by a piece of bad hardware or something that isn't compatible with FreeBSD. Most of it is pretty standard stuff, except maybe the hard drive. It's a 2.5" Seagate 524mb IDE drive with a 3.5" adapter. Any help you could give me at this point would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance. jamie@cris.net
