I have downloaded FreeBSD onto the Bootable floppy disks and have just =
attempted to Boot the computer into the FreeBSD setup Program.
I Inserted the 1st disk (kern.flp) into the A: and booted up the PC, it =
then proceded to boot, but it did not ask me to insert the mfsroot.flp =
disk it simply told /asked me the following:
Disk Error 0x10 (LBA=3D0x41)
No/Boot/Loader
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default:0:FD (0,A)/Kernel
Boot:
No Kernel
>>FreeBSD/i386 BOOT
Default: 0:FD (0,a)/Kernel
I have no idea what this means but i gather that it is not meant to =
happen!
I would be very thankful if sombady could tell me what needs to be done =
to rectify the situation.
Thanks
