Hi, all, Something funny's going on here. I've installed FreeBSD 2.1.0 on my machine at home, a Dell Dimension Pentium 60 MHz w/ 16MB RAM and 2 500MB harddrives and a 250MB IOMega tape drive (ft0) and a panasonic/matsushita CDROM. Previously, I had linux installed, only before I'd gotten FreeBSD up and running at work. Well, the installation goes fine, but when I try to reboot, my system does a hard reboot after the first couple of /-\|/ go by. When I try to boot from the floppy to wd(1,a)/kernel, I get further, but eventually the kernel panics. I can't think of anything I did wrong. I set wd1a bootable which is where my kernel resides, DOS still boots OK. Can anyone give me some insight or start asking me questions to see if I can pin down what's wrong? I love the way the installation is made so easy, and I really can't figure out what I've done wrong. TIA, Matt -- Matthew Gessner, Computer Scientist, <mgessner@aristar.com> Aristar, Inc. 302 N.
