Hello. I’m struggling with my first install of FreeBSD
(4.9 from CDROM).
I can find my way around the kernel config (visual and cli)
but when I quit this, the sysinstall menu appears and my
keyboard is dead (reset button doesn't work either). I
have tried to supply as much relevant information as
possible from Windows98 that is currently installed, and
put what I see from an “ls” in cli kernel config mode in
“[..]”. I’m looking for some advice to move forward –
likely problem areas / other debug I can obtain that might
help.
I’m more experienced with redhat, and if I try booting that
in text mode it dies as soon as it tries to boot the
kernel.
Thanks for any help at all,
Dave
