please help me with freebsd installation
how i installed freebsd
step1. make a boot floppy --> makeflp.bat
step2. boot up using the boot floppy
step3. went into user config
i had 23 conflicts i reconfigure and had 0 conflicts after that
step4 set my disk geometry to match the settings
disk geometry 969/128/63
step5 delete dos slice and create bsd slice of 1 gigabyte
set the partition active
step6 creating the file type root,swp and var
i use auto defaults
the root file system has 32 mb part(wd0s1a)
var 30 mb part(wd0s1e)
swap files 73 mb part(wd0s1b)
usr 887 mb part(wd0s1f)
step7 i chose the installation media CD ROM
step8 i installed the everything
i had 2 errors on tty2 screen
messages DEBUG: ERROR mount /dev/wcd0c
fstab
spoke to the technician at walnut creek he said those are not really errors
that would affect installation
step9: i restart my system (i took out the boot floppy)
i got the message can' find boot.config
then i got the next message can't find the kernel
i try at the boot prompt kernel.GENERIC
i got the same message can't find the kernel
at the boot default prompt
BOOT DEFAULT:
