Hi,
I've picked up a copy of BSD v4.4 and Im having trouble installing it
(Bet you've never heard that one before!).
It seems to recognise all my hardware during the initial stages, then it
tries to mount the floppy as root/boot? I think it's meant to go for the cd
or HD instead but I'm not sure.
Anyway, it then gives a double panic error (?) and hangs with the message
"syncing disks".
I hope this question isn't too dumb, but if you could help me out I'd be
very grateful.
Mark W
P.S I'm booting from a floppy as my BIOS doesn't recognise my
CD-ROM.
