Dear,

As a newbie to FreeBSD is = do not=20 succeed in this installation. In the
history file of this mailing = list I saw=20 5 users who have had the same
problem as I do; I haven't found any=20 solution.

The problem is:
After creating the installation = floppies, I=20 try to boot from them. A few
seconds later I get the=20 message:
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: no

Then the system = continues=20 with the process but fails after about one minute.
I have to reset = the=20 machine to continue.

If I prompt the machine just after she came = up with=20 the "Keyboard: no"
message, and I enter `-Dh` as is told in the  = Trouble.TXT file, I get the
prompt:
>> FreeBSD/i386 = BOOT
Default:=20 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader
boot:

At this point I don't know how to=20 continue: I can enter a value f.ex. "DOS"
but then she = replies
>>=20 FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader
boot: "DOS"
No = "DOS"

>> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:=20 0:fd(0,a)"DOS"
boot:


Is there a solution for my problem? = If there=20 is no solution I also want to here it.
 
Greetings.

Michel
