I am now trying to install this on a 486 with 20Mb RAM and a 1Gb HDD. I have formatted the HDD and then loaded MS-DOS 6.22. I have created a BSD boot floppy and an trying to install from that. At the end of every installation attempt, when I boot the PC, I get the following messages: "Can't find file boot.config" "Can't find file boot.help" and "Can't find kernel" I have deliberately kept this email short - rather than bombard you with details of every key I pressed during the install, I'm hoping that the 3 error messages above will suggest something, as they seem pretty fundamental errors! I'd be grateful for any advice you can provide. Incidentally, I have checked out various BSD web sites and newsgroups, but none seemed to deal with these error messages - not as they relate to my problem anyway.
