Hi there ppl,
I am posting here for the first time. (I just joined the list , so forgive
me if this is an old problem...)
Well I cant seem to be able to install freebsd.. Here is what i went
through...
First I tried installing over ftp (from freebsd.org and other sites too)
It started hanging when it was trying to log in to ftp.freebsd.org (and other
sites)
Then I tried using NFS. I downloaded the 2.1.0-RELEASE to a local
network disk and tried . It gives the message hostname:not found
and then hangs when it tries to mount the remote disk (I know for
sure that the disk is being exported to my workstation)
Finally I got the whole distribution to my dos partition and
I tried installing it from there. Now it says unable to find root
image. Then i used to root floppy to get the root image and then
proceed. Now it says unable to find bin/bin.aa etc (it for all other
subdirectories...proflibs etc etc)
I even moved the distribution to the root directory on my dos partition..
Am i missing something??
My Hardware is as follows:
Pentium (100 MHz Dell)
SMC Ether EZ Card.
Please tell me if u need more details
Hoping for ur prompt reply
balaji
PS: Sorry once again for taking ur time.
