Hello Im new to this list and new to freebsd, actually i havent installed it yet. The thing is i have to use PXE to install it, and there is NO floppy,NO cdrom or VGA on this computer. Now you might wonder what is it you are installing? It's a motorola 5360. Its capable of pxebooting, (im from the linux world) hda is a 16M cf Hdb is a standard harddrive. User interface is a serialport, running @38400,8n1. NIC is a eepro100 The computer is currently installed with linux, but since i have many compu= ters like this one, i thought about migrating into freebsd. I guess in linuxterm's i need a kernel and a rootdisk with the install pack= age. I tried the ones from the cd, it didn't give me any output on the se= rial port. (that i know workes, since before it loads the kernel i have t= o type what it should boot ...) Serial port is running @38400,8n1=20 i saw this page http://matt.simerson.net/computing/freebsd.netboot.shtml it gave me some hint, but since i dont have freebsd on the install server i= have problem. install server i also a cpn5360 and has debian running as OS. Please help :) Lars Lindgren ---------------------------------------------------------------------------= ------------- "I'm on the path, he thought. I don't have to know where it leads.
