Hello,
I'm trying to install freebsd(4.1) on an old laptop (old notejet 486 =
with 8M of ram). I copied over (after downloading to my desktop) the =
binary dist, the manual pages, docs, info, and games -- using interlink. =
On my laptop i put them into the C:\freebsd\bin ..\manpages ..\docs =
..\info and ..\games directories. The rebooted the computer with install =
disk in. I configured the kernel removing conflicts (7 netcards and 1 pc =
card were in conflic, i removed the netcards) It said pc card (slot(s)) =
detected is this the medium you wish to use, i said no, then selected =
ms-dos partition. I then went and made the slice (the HD is 800M and =
when i used fdisk the last time i gave DOS-WIN 300M and left the rest =
for freebsd) and made a 350M slice for freebsd, i used to autoconfigure =
to break it up and continued. I then selected the various distributions =
i wanted under the custum>> tag. hit enter and agreed this was what i =
really wanted to do.. after about 2 seconds the machine stopped, this =
is what was displayed
making a new root filesystem on /dev/rad0s2a (i waited about 30 minutes =
then gave up)
I've never installed any version of *inx before (this project is to get =
my feet wet) and any help would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance, Stanley
