Hi, I am a new freeBSD user (or at least trying to become one) and am having problems getting the kernel to boot. In a nutshell, here is info on my PC and the problem I am experiencing. Any help in getting me up and running will be greatly appreciated! PC Specs: NEC Ready 9624 with 133MHZ Pentium, 16M RAM, 8X CD-ROM, 2GB IDE HD (Windows 95, primary), 120MB HD (freeBSD almost, secondary), floppy, etc. Problem: Secondary drive is setup as Slave drive on "primary" IDE interface, and on intial boot from CD-ROM (FreeBSD 2.2.2, June 1997) all device conflicts are removed and only relevant devices on my system remain as "Active" devices. I then am able to go through the installation process without problem installing the "User" distribution, finish configuration, reboot and I then get the following: F1 - dos F5 - disk 2 F? I try to select disk 2 but, I the another prompt as follows: F1 - BSD F5 - disk 1 F? This continues on toggling back and forth. I hope this is enough information for you to provide some feedback. Again, any help will be much appreciated. Thanks, Robert _ _ Robert P. Booth Graduate Student, CMPE email: rbooth@email.sjsu.edu
