Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.2. PC configuration
is
Pentium 60, 8 MB ram, 630 MB hard disk.
When I am trying to boot using install disks
(kern.flp),
it is not able to boot properly and shows some errors.
As suggested by you Erik, I also tried boot floppies
from
FreeBSD 4.1.1, FreeBSD 3.5.1, FreeBSD 3.2 and FreeBSD
3.0.
None of the boot floppy from above releases is able to
boot properly.
I have PicoBSD 0.41 floppy and PicoBSD boots and works
well.
PicoBSD shows that it is based on FreeBSD 3.0.
If PicoBSD can boot then why not installation boot
program
can boot? Do I require to change some setting in BIOS?
Following is screen output I can see when booting with
FreeBSD 4.2 & FreeBSD 3.2.
With kern.flp (4.2) -
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 639kB/7168kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk2
BIOS drive C: is disk3
BIOS 639kB/7168kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8
(jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org, Mon Nov 20 11:41:23 GMT

Can't work out which disk we are booting frm
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by
probes, defaulting to disk0
vocabulary not found
compile not found
forth not found
builtin: not found
builtins not found
forth not found
builtin: not found
builtins not found
After 10 seconds it tries to load kernel and then
kernel.old. Both of which fails.
With kern.flp (3.2) -
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: yes
-
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01

Boot loader keeps on printing above lines and when I
press
ctrl-alt-del it shows following lines:
