Hi,
I hope that I'm not sending this to the wrong list, or that the question
hasn't already been answered.
I'm trying to install 6.1-RELEASE onto a Pentium-3.
I had a lot of trouble creating the diskettes, but after changing the floppy
drive, no problem. Now, when I do the install, I have two hard drives, and
configure them as follows...
disk0
150M /
512M /etc
512M /etc
512M /var
1024M /bin
4096M /usr
1024M swap
disk1
4096M /forums
4096M /mail
4096M /sql
1024M swap
I go through the installation, via ftp, and then set the root password. Oh,
and the 'FreeBSD boot manager' is the option I choose, when configuring the
disks.
When I reboot, this is what I see ...
Manual root filesystem specification
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype> eg
ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort manual imput
... and that's it.
Nothing else. The machine just sits there.
Is there something I've missed ? We've tried the same install on three
different machines, using three different motherboards, and four different hard
drives. Something is wrong, either with the installation media, or else with
our method of going about it. Oh, and I tried installing 5.5 on the same
machines, with the same result.
FreeBSD rocks; I've used it for a long time on many different machines, and
this is the first time that this has happened.
Could someone suggest a solution? The people with whom I'm installing this,
are starting to whisper the word 'Linux', and it's giving me nightmares.... :(
Thanks.
D.C
