Hi - I'm trying to install FreeBSD 4.2 stable from floppies made from a linux
central cd. The floppies have been used to install a system on an old pentium
and still boot that system ok.
But when I try to boot a 486 the bootloader says it can't find
'kernel' then 'kernel.old'.
From the 'ok' prompt I get after that, the ls command gives:
open '/' failed: input/output error
I can boot ok using dos and redhat 7.1 diskettes in the floppy
drive so it seems to be alright.
Any suggestions please - I'm stuck.
tia,
Michael Baxter.
