Hi,

As a newbie to non DOS/Win, i try to install freebsd 4.5 from floppy on an old 
486DX33 with 8MB ram (640+7,... MB). Available HD is apart from DOS 5,0 clean 
and empty. After the second floppy and selecting available hardware, i get an 
declaration of hardware in freebsd terms. It ends with

Mouting root from ufs:/dev/md0c
swap_pager_getswapspace: failed

then the system hangs.

What do i do wrong? Is installation with these minimal specs possible at all?

Yes, i tried with a differend floppy, just in case of disk-errors.

tia

Paul

Ook het voor de hand liggende moet verzonnen worden.
Even the obvious has to be made up.
