Am running Windows 95 on a 486DX with a 815Mb IDE drive. Have successfully created the boot image file and copied all the /bin to floppies I formatted myself. Setup runs successfully as follows: default kernel loads (after I resolve all possible conflicts), I am able to partition my disc, load the boot manager, and label my partitions. Please see attached file for debugging details (which I have set to high in Options.) After choosing Minimum Install and Floppy Distribution, setup creates holographic shell and prompts for the 1st floppy. Once floppy inserted and press Enter, it returns me to the Choose Distributions menu. Again, please see attached file for debugging details. Debugging shows floppy successfully mounted; also several screens of directories created. However, several commands are returning statuses of 0. Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated. --=====================_886728374==_ Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Disposition: attachment; filename="debug.txt" Once kernel loaded, VTY2 reads: DEBUG: ioctl (3, TIOCCONS, NULL)=0 (success) DEBUG: Found a disc device named wd0 DEBUG: Found a DOS partition wd0s1 on drive wd0 DEBUG: Found a network device named lp0 DEBUG: Try for cd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: Try for mcd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: Try for scd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: Try for matcd0a returns errno2 DEBUG: Try for wcd)c returns errno2 DEBUG: Found a CDROM device named wcd0c DEBUG: Found a floppy device named fd0 DEBUG: Add mapping for cuaa0 on /dev/cuaa0 to sl0 DEBUG: Add mapping for cuaa0 on /dev/cuaa0 to ppp0 DEBUG: Add mapping for cuaa1 on /dev/cuaa1 to sl1 DEBUG: Add mapping for cuaa1 on /dev/cuaa1 to ppp1 FDISC Menu as follows: offset size end name ptype desc subtype flags 0 63 62 - 6 unused 0 63 820449 820511 wd0s1 2 fat 6 820512 848736 1669247 wd0s2 3 freebsd 165 C DISKLABEL Menu as follows: part mount size newfs wd0s1 none 400MB DOS wd0s2a / 32 UFS Y wd0s2b swap 25 SWAP wd0s2e /var 30 UFS Y wd0s2f /usr 326 UFS Y Choose minimal distribution as have only copied /bin to floppies.
