From what I know, freeBSd requires at least 10MB Ram for installation. If you still want to use that machine, you can build pico BSD out of functioning freeBSD machine and put entire freebsd into single floppy. You can use that to reboot your machine with it too. arvind singh wrote: > > Hi, > > I am new to free bsd and I am trying to boot a 486DX with 4mb RAM > machine with floppies for FreeBSD3.3. > > It loads the kernel and then asks for the second floppy and then > simply gets stuck at boot prompt with message No /kernel found. > > default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel > boot: > > Am I missing something here? > Thanks in advance. > > -Arvind > > ---------------------------------------------------------------------- > Get your FREE download of MSN Explorer at http://explorer.msn.com > To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe > freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
