O'Byrne) Message-Id: <9502012026.AA09587@odyssey.ucc.ie> To: freebsd-questions@freefall.cdrom.com Subject: Venturis PC installation Problem Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.0 on a Brand New DEC venturis PC 4100 (dx4 100 mhz). It has Phoenix BIOS. It has a 540A type hard disk (500+ megabytes). I can boot the first floppy, and it goes ok. I got some complaint about it using 16 instead of 32 heds. I also changed the BIOS to use 'OTHER' rather than 'DOS' for the layout (whatever this does) as it reccomended doing this for anything other than DOS ! When it reboots I get a F? or similar and it doesn't boot ! any ideas ? thanks Dave
