Dear Sir:
I am attempting to load FreeBSD on a 486DX. I've created a boot
floppy using boot.flp file. Upon booting the machine I get the standard
expected message:
>> FreeBSD BOOT @ 0x10000: 640/15360 k of memory
Use hd(1,a)/kernel to boot sd0 when wd0 is also installed.
Usage: [[fd(0,a)]/kernel][-abcCdhrsv]
Use ? fro file list or press Enter for defaults
Boot:
After waiting a few seconds the machine reboots itself and the same screen
appears again, and again, and again ... Using the ? option or the -c
options has proved to be useless. In fact typing anything is useless, since
pressing enter starts the process over again with no change. Could you
please give me some help as to where to go next.
