I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.0 on a P90 w/ 24MB RAM. I'm using the boot floppies, the first time I went through the installation the only problem I had was a loose cable on the back of the cdrom (probably happened while I was moving the system) that caused the package installation to abort. I didn't have any problems slicing out the HDD or anything like that. After I rebooted I can boot off of the floppies but when I try to load the install it tries to read the HDD then says "slice size larger than disk size", gives a few numbers (slice Vs disk and such) and then panics out "Not going anywhere without init". The only thing I can think of is that I chose to dedicate the whole disk to BSD (it's a 800MB HDD and I don't plan on using any other OS's on the system)...any help would be greatly appreciated.
