I'm having some problems and i was wondering if you could help me out. This is my first time, although i'm familiar with UNIX. First, i formated the hard drive (i had win95 before) and copied /bin and /manpages from your web site, by using a CR-ROM. I also created the 2 disks, kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. When i boot the computer with the kern.flp disk starts doing some staff and then the computer asks for the mfsroot.flp disk. I insert the disk and the Kernel Configuration Menu pops up. I choose the full-screen visual mode and i get the menu with the active and inactive drivers. I get 8 conflicts so i disable those drivers. Once i hit Q to save and exit i get a bunch of messages and the last one says: "Automatic rebbot in 15 secons..." The computer reboots again BUT i get the message: "Invalid System disk. Replace the disk and then press any key" I'm stuck here. I don't know what to do. I've read all the documentation but nothing. Could you please help me out? I' really appreciate. Thanks a lot. I look forward to hearing from you. Satcha Benitez. sbenitez@ra.rockwell.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
