I got an old IBM to play with freeBSD I made a Install CD and was installing it the other day and during the install the machine basically crashed for what ever reason I rebooted the machine and the screen says this. Booting [kernel]... can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' Type "?" for a list of commands or "help" for more detailed help. ok _ Thats it I can not get it to boot from the cd any more even though I have changed the BIOS to check the CD first and I also have a Win98 boot disk and that doesn't work either. I remember selecting the boot manager for BSD before it crashed. Is there any thing I can do to reformat the drive and start over? Or get it to boot from the cd or floppy?
