---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Sat, 5 May 2001 13:47:02 +0200 (CEST) From: James Tapping <james@fr.clara.net> To: freebsd-newbies@freebsd.org Cc: questions@freebsd.org Subject: freebsd bootdisk Hello I am new too FreeBSD and coming from the linux world...I have an old 486 machine that I use as a NAT gateway using Debian Linux, and I have never managed to get the machine to boot from the harddrive (even after using a /boot partition etc), so i quite happily use a boot-diskette. So my question is what and how does one do the equivalent thing in FreeBSD? Yes, I have tried installing a FreeBSD on the machine and it doesn't want to boot either, the machine justs asks for a diskette (nothing in the bios settings either, its an IBM 433 DXS) Any ideas? Thanks James please reply personally as I am not subscribed to questions@ on newbies cheers To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
