Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-emulation@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.org I had a friend over with a new Mac laptop, that has a PPC and 4G of disk, and he wanted to install FreeBSD in a partition he'd kept free for the purpose. This thing has a piece of software called SoftWindows that emulates a Pentium, and seems to give pretty good performance, so I decided to tryi sticking FreeBSD on it. It couldn't see the DEC 21041 lan chip, so I couldn't install via ftp. It couldn't see the ATAPI cdrom, so I couldn't install via cdrom. It could see only one out of 2 IDE disks, and since the other empty dos partition (which I'd loaded with FreeBSD binaries) was on the other disk, and it couldn't see that disk, I couldn't install from dos. Anyone ever get such a beast to install FreeBSD? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run Journey2 and picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (NetBSD). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-emulation" in the body of the message
