I have an old.. 386 which has 4 megs of RAM.. I have been attempting for the last number of days to install FreeBSD on this computer and with limited success.. I have tried both the Linux DD install and the DOS FDIMAGE install and have gotten the same results both times. Here is what happens: The first floppy loads.. then propts for the second floppy. the second floppy finishes loading and after that loads I get a prompt that says hit ENTER to reboot or any other key for a command prompt or wait X seconds and the computer will reboot automatically. Now, if I wait and let it boot.. it boots back into DOS. If I hit ENTER it boots to DOS, if I hit any other key I will get a prompt that says OK.. and I can hit "?" and get a list of commands.. listing modules.. and a load utility ls.. and a few others.. but that is it ! what do I do ?? Your Help would be immensely appreciated ! Mark MrBear37@yahoo.com __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Get email at your own domain with Yahoo!
