Hello all, I've got a question about the install of the current FreeBSD.
I am using the floppy install, and I dd (I'm a linux user) both the
kern.flp and mfsroot.flp onto floppies, then I follow the instructions
on this site:
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html
I get to the end of step "2.3.1.1 Booting for the i386™" where it
tells to boot the kernel and no matter what I do, it just reboots the
computer! Therefore it looses whatever it tried to put in memory and
starts over again. How can I get it to go to the kernel setup?
My Hardware:
IBM PS/Valuepoint 486 33MHz
8 MB RAM
2 x 212MB HD
3-COM network card
no CDROM
Thanks, Any help would be appreciated
Brent
