Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; CHARSET=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@FreeBSD.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Dear FreeBSD-team, I've just bought the Walnut Creek CDROM 'FreeBSD 2.1 January 1996'. I had some problems when I tried to install it. Please, could you help me? I've made a boot floppy using 'makeflp.bat' since 'install.bat', 'inst_ide.bat' etc. didn't work (EMM386 error). Then I bootet my system and at the 'Boot:' prompt I typed '-c' to configure my hardware. In the visual editor I assigned my serial Logitech mouse - which is connected to Com2 - the same port adress (0x2F8) and Irq (3) as Com2. But the editor said '2 conficts' and so during the installion process my mouse didn't work. Isn't it right to assign the same values to my mouse and the com port it is connected to? (I also tried other com ports but the result was the same!) I used the MS-DOS utility 'msd.exe' to examine the values of my mouse and the com ports so I think that the adresses and Irqs I typed in are ok (MS-DOS and Windows work well with these settings!) Please try to help me! Thank you, Simon o-------------------------------o |Simon Stegmaier | |Kapellaeckerstr. 4 | |73527 Schwaeb.
