I have a new machine. It has no IDE drives and has a blank (unformatted) SCSI hard drive (ID5). >From an SCO UNIX machine, I downloaded the FreeBSD bin files and put them all on floppies (using tar) and created the boot.flp floppy (using "dd" per the readme). When I try to boot from the floppy, it goes through the initial stuff, gets the boot: prompt, then automatically starts booting from the floppy. It goes through a couple of lines like "text=0x000120 blocks=04 23 ff 37 ..." (this is not the actual wording, it just *looks* like this). Then the system reboots and starts the whole process over. It keeps going through the same series of steps (boot, restart, boot, restart, ...) until I turn the machine off. Where am I going wrong? What can I do?
