------=_NextPart_000_0019_01BFD9D4.CCA0FD20 Content-type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable Good Morning everone, I'm trying to install FreeBSD in an 486 at 33 MHz computer, with 400 Mb = of Hard Disk and 16Mb of RAM. This computer has a CD-ROM and is = connected to its own IDE disk controller. I have the installation cd-rom of FreeBSD 3.3 and also a Boot Floppy = disk to install FreeBSD. I don't want to make any partition at all, I just want to have the hole = hard disk dedicated to FreeBSD. I started the instalation inserting the floppy disk and rebooting the = computer. It comes up a menu and I choose "Start Kernel configuration in = full-screen visual mode". I check the configuration of the computer and = there is a few conflicts due to not having any network card. I aso = realised that it doesn't find any CD-ROM (sony, mistsubisy, panasonic) = BUT it finds the wdc0 that is the main hard drive and wdc1 that is the = disk controller board where de cd-rom is connected. I follow the = installation and everything is OK until it reaches the menu that ask you = where do you want to install freeBSD from. I select CD-Rom but it says = that it couldn't find any CD-ROM connected (WHAT!!!!!). I don't know how = to tell Free-BSD that my CD-Rom is connected to a disk controller board = (IDE/ESDI/MFM disk controller, wdc1). Can anyone help me please? Thank you very much in advance. abel ------=_NextPart_000_0019_01BFD9D4.CCA0FD20 Content-type: text/html; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-transfer-encoding: quoted-printable <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.0 Transitional//EN"> <HTML><HEAD> <META content=3D"text/html; charset=3Diso-8859-1" = http-equiv=3DContent-Type> <META content=3D"MSHTML 5.00.2314.1000" name=3DGENERATOR> <STYLE></STYLE> </HEAD> <BODY bgColor=3D#ffffff> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>Good Morning everone,</FONT></DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D2>I'm trying to install FreeBSD in an 486 = at 33 MHz=20 computer, with 400 Mb of Hard Disk and 16Mb of RAM.
