Ok, I have reached a point where my pride has been squished, my snity
shredded, and my patience frayed beyond belief!

I have been trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.2 on my system for the last 4
weeks. My system contains 3 HD's, a Matrox Millenium video card, Sound
Blaster 32 PnP, AmJet 33.6 fax modem, Quick TSW2 MB, P133 (Intel), 32 Mb
EDO ram.
wd0 Quantum Fireball 1.2Gb C-2484 H-16 S-63
wd1 Quantum Fireball 4.3Gb C-14848 H-9 S-63 (This will be my FBSD drive)

sd0 DEC DSP3053L SCSI-2 545Mb

On the main board I have com1/2, lpt1, 2 HD controllers, an Adaptec
AIC-7880 SCSI controller which runs off of PCI#0.

I currently have Win95 rev B using the 32 bit FAT on wd0. I have tried
stripping my system to the basics and still have not gotten anywhere. I
have removed wd0 and sd0 from the system and tried to install with no
luck. I bott from the floppy and begin a novice installation from the
CD-Rom. Everything seems to go just fine. I install some ports,
configure X windows, and everything seems peachy. I reboot and the
system tells me that no operating system is installed. What am I doing
wrong? During install setup when I set the partitions, I select the
basic choices. (/, swap, /var, /usr). I hope this is enough information
for someone to help me. I pray that someone will help me. 8^/

Much thanks,
Vincent Rodriguez

It is not whether or not you die, we all die eventually.
It is, in fact, how you have lived, that will make the difference.
No matter how small.
