This is a multi-part message in MIME format. ------=_NextPart_000_003F_01BF47AE.23D7F3A0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="iso-8859-1" Content-Transfer-Encoding: quoted-printable I downloaded the ISO from the bsd ftp site some time ago. Burned it and = made floppies using makeflp.bat. Now I have wo disks that I labeled Kernel and MFSRoot. When I boot on = the Kernel Disk It goes through some process with cryptic information = coming acrss the screen and a spinning icon thing made up os = slashes.....think this is a wait promt of some sort. After about 5 minutes it beeps and tells me to insert the MFSRoot disk = which I do and press enter. It goes through more of the above and then states that it will reboot = automatically in 10 seconds. This reboot was not mentioned in any of = the DOCs but I since there is no error message I let it continue. A complete reboot happens...Computer counts memory and then comes up = with the following message/prompt >> FreeBSD/i386 Boot Default: 0fd(0,a)? boot: There is no information in the DOCs as to what I should do at this = point. No matter what I type is always responds with=20 . .. mfsroot.gz=20 >> FreeBSD/i386 Boot Default: 0fd(0,a)? boot: Do I have a bad ISO file here? bad install disk or what? Any help you may provide will be greatly appreciated.. Also for the record no internet access on this box will be = available...so FTP install will be impossible.
