I have now sent several letters requesting help and have not been able to
fix my problem.
I have an IBM 486 with a 100MHz overdrive processor and 12MB of RAM. I also
have two Hard drives, one a 212MB, C:, that I have Windows '95 installed on.
The other one is a 1.2GB Western Digital that is partitioned into 700MB, D:,
and 520MB onto which I wish to install freeBSD. I have a version 2.0.5 CD
and have followed all the instructions I found. Unforetunately I had to copy
it to D: because I have an IDE CD Drive.
Anyway, I installed from that DOS partition and everything seems to
go great during installation. Then when I reboot, the boot manager doesn't
run - even though I told it to install the boot manager. So I install it
manually. I have tried installing it on both C: and D:. After I do this and
reboot the boot manager runs and I select disk2(F5).
At this point it tells me:
"Missing File System"
I have tried different installation packages, I have tried finding
the correct geometry for the drive (even though I think it is correct - 618
cylinders, 64 heads, 63 sectors). Nothing seems to work.
During installation with extra debugging on - it tells me that some
number doesn't match (sorry I wasn't able to see what) but it is early on.
Other thatn that installation goes great.
Any ideas???????????????????????????
