Hi folks,
i've tried to install FreeBSD 2.0 on my PC. Unfortunately the
installation failed. I wonder if anybody is able to help me on that ?
Here's what's going on :
System is a 486DX2-66 Intel, Asus SP3G Mainboard, 8MB RAM 256K Cache,
using the onboard NCR SCSI Controller with CONNER 1060S (1GB,SCSI)
HD and Toshiba 3601B (4.5 x Speed, SCSI CDROM Drive), 1/4" Floppy
Grpahics Board is Spea Mercury, Standard Keyboard (No mouse connected
to system).
Software is from BSDisc (November 94) from InfoMagic
I made two install disks (rawrite). 1st disk contained a boot_144.flp
image, second floppy contained a sysinstall (also flp-file). On the CD
there are two directories called NEWER and OLDER. The directories both
contained boot_flp and sysinstall. I tried all four possible
combinations of boot.flp and sysinstall on the two floppies.
With the newer boot.flp the installation stopped (system reboot) a
different points (usually after creating the filesystems, in copying
in kernel).
With the older boot.flp the installation succeeded, and the first boot
after that succeeded, and i was asked to insert the second floppy.
After that (while copying the sysinstall tool) the system rebooted.
I tried both versions of the sysinstall tool, without success.
The system did not always boot the kernel and came up to the
sysinstall stuff. Sometimes (about 3/4 of all tries) it did not boot
the kernel correct.
That's where i am now.
I wonder if somebody can help me on that.
Thanks a lot.
Cheers
Guido
