Hi, I have been tried to install the FreeBSD from CD-ROM with boot floppy disk for several days. I hope you can help me out as soon as possible because I am so eager to use UNIX. I want to have 2 Operating Systems, MS-DOS and UNIX, on my PC. So, Here is the steps I had tried: Assume : C is hard drive. A is floppy drive. D is CD-ROM drive with top level of a FreeBSD. 1) copy all important files from CD-ROM to C-drive. C> MD C:\FREEBSD C> XCOPY /S D:\FREEBSD\ BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN\ C> XCOPY /S D:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES\ 2) copy the boot.flp image onto A-drive. A> d:\FREEBSD\tools\fdimage FREEBSD\floppies\boot.fip a: 3) scan and defragment the hard drive of my PC. 4) reboot succesfully. 5) didn't modify the kernel configuation. 6) set option. 7) novice installation. 8) Problem : I have the following error message and don't know how to fix it. 1. No root device found. You must label a partition as / in the label editor 2. No swap devices found. You must create at least one swap partition. 3. No /usr file system found. 4. No /var file system found. Counldn't make file system properly, abort. Please help! Thanks! JW.
