Hi all ,
I am having trouble installing freebsd 42 on an IBM thinkpad 560 with
133mhz / 40mb ram .
1. cannot boot from pccard cdrom ( fair enough )
2. cannot boot from serial modem . ( phase deflink not connected error )
. Tried this on my desktop box with similar
results . Tried to manually configure ppp settings in term mode - no
luck either .
3. cannot boot from floppy ( ibm external floppy proprietry format )
4 . no ether network setup so NFS is out
To make matters worse a hasty commit formatted the hard drive but didnt
install the os . Therefore I have a machine with the no boot loader prompt
.
I have a laplink cable , would it be possible to boot from my desktop box
( fbsd42release ) over the plip ?
Any help / *pointers greatly appreceiated .
Regards
kmcd
