I'm running through this again, step by step on the Libretto. Booting w/ a FreeBSD boot disk Going through the first visual config screen, getting rid of some conflicts. Here's what i have left: Storage: Floppy Disk Controller IDE/ESDI/MFM Disk Controller Network: NE1000,NE2000,3C503,WD/80xx Ethernet Adapters (actually i've got a Linksys Ethercard) Communications: Parallel Printer Port 8250/16450/16550 Serial Port Input: PS/2 Mouse Syscons Console Driver and a bunch of PCI stuff it won't let me get rid of Next it hit the next screen Novice Installation Go into the pseudo fdisk I've got my 150MB dos partition, and i choose 'C' to create a freebsd partition out of the rest of the disk. i set both partitions to bootable Next, i choose the BootMgr, so i can still use the dos partition in the Disklabel editor, i choose 'A', to let it autoselect the sizes of the partitions Next, i Choose 'A', for all sources and X-window system Next, i choose to install from a dos partition (freebsd is sitting at c:\freebsd) it goes through writing partition, newgs, and all that jazz next thing i know, it dumps me back at the screen when i chose 'a', for all sources and x-window system i hit alt+f2 and i can see a couple cpio's /mnt/stand/etc /mnt/stand/etc/protocols /mnt/stand/etc/rc.conf and a bunch of other stand things /mnt/etc /mnt/etc/protocols and the same things from just above, without the stand DEBUG: Generating /etc/fstab file DEBUG: DOS Partition /etc/wd0s1 mounted and that's it. crapped out. vicious circle ANY IDEAS?????????
