Hello- I recently purchased the Walnut Creek CD-ROM FreeBSD book (with FreeBSD 2.2.1), and am I currently trying to get the boot floppy to work in booting the system. The computer starts up, does the RAM check, prints the CMOS settings, then prints a couple other messages standard to a functional boot (Cache type.. EDO in DRAM..). Afterwards, it reads from the floppy drive, but then freezes. The computer isn't locked up, as cntrl+alt+del still works, but it stays frozen indefinetely. The system is an Intel Pent 200 (generic assembly, not Dell, Gateway, etc). Suggested solutions that have failed: 1) Using DOS rawrite as well as Linux dd 2) Using a different floppy disk 3) Downloading boot.flp from the ftp site (I've tried both the stardard release 2.2.1 and the one in the newer/ dir) I just tried the boot floppy on a Cyrix 686 150, and it boots fine. Any suggestions would be received with many thanks, and solutions will be met with kisses to the feet ;) Thanks a lot! - Andrew Kaufmann | Andrew Kaufmann | andrewk@airship.net | andrewk@dal.net | | SysAdmin: airship.net | Worshipper: R.E.M. | | Home Page: Out of order |
