I tried to install NetBSD 1.3 i386 recently, and some of the device drivers that are on my PC didn't support it (ethernet, etc). I didn't have a CD for NetBSD, so that's why I needed to do it via ftp from my mac. There's no OS on the PC at all, so how do I make the PC boot off of the CD or floppy? All it does now is say "Please wait...." during the boot sequence, and you just keep waiting, and waiting, and waiting... Help! I plan to install FreeBSD 2.5.5. THanks alot!
