Dear Sir
I intend to install the FreeBSD 2.1.5 release but am experiencing difficulties in actually getting the fbsdboot.exe to run at all on my computer.It is
a laptop computer and unfortunately can only have either the CDROM or floppy disk module installed at any one time.I tried to run the install.bat.First
the computer is turneed on then I see windows startup menu.I chose to load
DOS ver 6.22 (I have modified the config.sys and autoexec.exe for this
version of dos so that no memory manager is loaded).Only cdrom device
driver is loaded.I run from the cdrom's directory install.bat.Then
the following appeared.
fbsdboot.exe -D kernel
Booting @ 0x100000
text=0xf0000 data=0x13c000 bss=0x11ec0
symbols=[+0x940+0x4+0xe694+0x4+0xf119]to
tal=0x35b7b5 entry point=0x100000
the computer is then crashed(or I was stuck even Ctrl-Alt-Del could not
reboot the computer)
The cdrom is a Teac_cd44e(ide).The cpu is fast enough.
I really don't know what to do can you help me .(Soory for writing so long.)
