It's an ISA/VESA 486 DX2/66, 32M parity memory, Premio Motherboard, Chipset ALI. I run the visual configuration, delete every device I do not have, boot and the system stops after the "Uncompressing kernel" message. A strange thing is that the boot.flp has an odd size. Is this ok ? -rwxrwxr-x 1 104 ftpm 1136128 Oct 14 23:28 boot.flp -rwxrwxr-x 1 104 ftpm 1078784 Oct 14 23:24 boot4.flp -rwxrwxr-x 1 104 ftpm 1228800 Oct 14 23:26 fixit.flp I'm trying to keep current to help the develoment of FreeBSD. TIA, Jonny PS: Is it possible to upgrade from 2.1.5 to 2.2 from the sources ? -- Joao Carlos Mendes Luis jonny@gta.ufrj.br +55 21 290-4698 ( Job ) jonny@cisi.coppe.ufrj.br Network Manager UFRJ/COPPE/CISI Universidade Federal do Rio de Janeiro
