Are there a way (again) to install FreeBSD without "Probbing devices". If I can install Linux. My machine have memory problems, I know..., but I suscessufull installed Linux Slackware yesterday, the only exception is the RAMDISK, cause I have to deal with many "bus errors". And yesterday, I compilled Kernel, X and my IceWM Window Manager without problems, just are all in the HD Are there a way to pass an argument or parameter to FreeBSD install program don't start this screen and test my devices. Please!!! Please !!!, Help me Case there are no way, so, someone knows a tool outside of FreeBSD, be possible to create the FreeBSD slices, cause the Partition is so easy, I can create it with the Linux Fdisk, is easy, enough only for put the type of BSD/386. But the slices, the things stay one more hard to create. Cause, I can get the newfs from the source distribution, compile it to Linux, and create the UFS filesystem into Linux. and I can also simply mount the slices, get my Distribution CD, and unpack all the bin.aa, bin.ab, etc.. under the FreeBSD filesystem. --------------------------------------------- Gustavo Pamplona - pamplona@uai.com.br Linux User: 137471 - FreeBSD User: FBSD042237 Linux Slackware 7.0 | FreeBSD 3.2 Release --------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
