Hello,
I have an IBM X30 laptop without external CD or FDD - so I can't boot from
CD or FDD. I have also no network access to another computer. I can just
download the installation software form the FreeBSD web site. Is there a way
to install FreeBSD in such situation?

Hello,
I have some problems installing FreeBSD 5.4 on
ThinkPad X30.
I boot from floppy and install from a DOS partition.
The problem is somewhere around the drive geometry.
FreeBSD says that the geometry 77520/16/63 does not
seem right and that more likely 4864/255/63 will be
used. The manual s

I am installing FreeBSD on a laptop with Windows XP Pro. I created empty
space with PartitionMagic and installed FreeBSD there making the FreeBSD

Basically just ignore the errors with non-Windows partitions in *nix

It is somehow irritating to ignore "errors" all the time. I can see
