>I don't understand.

If it is not >upgradable-you are stuck with floppies. ok, that's what I used many times to stry to set up this system, but, after freebsd 4.2R is installed by booting with the floopies and installing from cdrom, I then cannot get the system to boot from harddisk, some kind of partition table pb. >Or am i missing something? I should not have mentioned not booting, the pb is the "successful" floppy install that refuses to boot the OS from hard disk. Before its previous harddisk died, this system was running 3.2R, installed from a booted ISO image. That disk died, now the new disk has partition table pb's. How to get around that?
