Hi, I`ve recently tried to put FreeBSD to work on a 486 33 MHz but when booting from the floppy disk makes a routine check and restart the machine. It keeps in that loop indefinetly. At the boot: prompt I type -cv but the programs continue like always. Need some help ASAP on this I formatted all my Windows 3.11 software because of FreeBSD. MS-DOS, Windows 3.11 (I will delete this if the programs starts) CPU Intel 486 33 MHz LAN NE2000 compatible adapter CONNER 85 MB HDD 1.44 Floppy Disk Drive VGA Monitor 4 MB RAM I downloaded the fdimage.exe program and the boot.flp from the Web Site of FreeBSD. (I just clicked the hypertext to download). Reboot in DOS my PC and typed: c:\downloads\fdimage.exe boot.flp a: and the prompt came back after a minutes. Then put the boot floppy on the machine and reboot. The / (spinning) appear and get the boot: prompt. I typed -cv and press <Enter>. After that the machine prompts Booting 0:fd(0,a)kernel @ 0x279000 Text=0x12a000 / (spinning and waits about 20 sec.) text=0x12a000 data=0x0 bss=0x00 symbols=[+0x600+0x4+0x270+0x4+0x1f4] And appears some other text fast and reboots. Keeps that loop indefinetly. I`ve tried on other machine with different config and happens the same. Would that be enough to get help on this? Thanks Pablo Quintana
