Hi,

I installed the FreeBSD 2.05 on PC/486, but faced some problems.
I will be grateful if someone can give me some ideas.

P: "No root device found -- you must label a partition as /
    in the label editor"
Q: How to label it ?


P: "Couldn't extract all of the distributions. This may be because the specific
   distributions are not available from the installation media you've chosen
   ( residue: 1)
Q: I have copied all the bin.* files and root.flp into c:/FreeBSD. Is there
   any others required ?

P: The current Partition is as follows:
   Name   	Ptype	Desc	Flags
   sd0s1	2	fat	
   sd0s3	2	fat	A
   sd0s2	4	ext.

   sd0s1 is for DOS;  sd0s3 for FREEBSD.

Q: Is it Okay ?


Thanks.
