From my install last install which was last night, this reboot will just boot into FreeBSD so if you try turning the PC off and on then don't do that. Or just sit there and let the 15 seconds expire. Yong -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Satcha Benitez Sent: Thursday, June 15, 2000 3:31 PM To: freebsd-newbies@FreeBSD.ORG; sbenitez@ra.rockwell.com Subject: Installin FreeBSD 4.0 Hi, My name is Satcha Benitez and I'm trying to install FreeBSD in a Gateway P5-90. 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.
