I'm trying to install freebsd and I'm having a problem! I want to do a single-disk, multi-os install. I have windows 95 installed already. I downloaded the fips.exe and set up a new freebsd partition, then I made my freebsd boot disk using the fdimage file. I then downloaded the "bin" files from the ftp.cdrom site and stored them in a directory named FreeBSD. The boot disk works fine but when i try to install from a dos partition it kicks me back out to the select distributions screen and I get into a vicious circle from there. So, I decided to try to fdimage all of the "bin" files to floppy disk and install that way, but when I got to the actual install screen where it asks me to put in the first floppy, I get an error message that reads "Error mounting floppy fd0 (/dev/fd0) on /dist : Invalid argument". What does this mean??? I'm new to UNIX-type OS's and I'm very lost!! I hope I've given you enough information and I also hope you can help me. Thank you for taking the time to read this. -- Elizabeth McQueeny ladybug@pugetsound.net
