Doug will probably answwer this.... Finally got around to installing a 4.3 gb drive the other day. Installed win95, (have to for some issues). I made partitions in fdisk as follows: c: as 1 gig d: as 1 gig the rest I left so have bout 2.1 gb left for fbsd. Installed 95 on c got it working. I booted a 2.1.7 install disk and used the last 2.1 gb for bsd, auto partitioned and want to do a local ftp install from a 486 that Ive been using for over a year as a dedicated bsd machine. I mounted the install cd under: /var/ftp/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE then supplied the pertenent info for setting up IP, gateway, netmask etc. in the new install. It then asks where you want to ftp install from, I choose select my own site URL it brings me to the screen: ftp://192.168.0.2/pub/FreeBSD/2.1.7-RELEASE 192.168.0.2 being the ip of the 486. But it gives me the error of not being able to find the dir specifed. I also used the machine name but the 486 just dials out to resolve the host name, which of course doenst exist so it error out there too. I have setup in options the anonymous user instead of ftp user with an email password. In windows I can ftp and telnet to the 486, and I'm using the 486 as a gateway so I know the machines are talking to each other as I can use netscrape to get out via the 486. Any other issues I can look at here? can I use an IP addr at the ftp:// dialog box? Have I go the CD mounted corectly? Though one thing that did get done was the bootmgr got installed even though bsd isnt. thanks for any info as now with all this hdisk realestate I can try things like cvsup and other little goodies.
