Hello hackers,

I wrote to @questions, but as result, I have advised to address the help to you.

Sorry, if I spend your time

I have notebook IP-120MHz without FDD
He is NOT BOOT from CD.

How can i install FreeBSD on it?


Hardvare configuration:
Compaq 5280
Intel Pentium 120MHz
80Mb RAM
4,3 Gb HDD Hitachi
CD-ROM -8x Panasonic (I CAN NOT boot from it)

NO able boot from LAN, NO FDD,
2,5" HDD - I can't connect this HDD to desktop and install FreeBSD on it.


I try to load a kernen from DOS-partition usin "bsdboot.com kernel",
but it have called a panic because of impossibility to mount root partition

BUT I read in file /tools/00_index.txt (line 1):

setup.exe       Prepare for installation from a DOS partition.


I hope it help me, but I can not FOUND IT -
I can't found setup.exe in the installatoin CD-ROM,
in the ftp-server on freebsd.org

Where I can found this utilite???


Whether there is any other way of installation?
