To put along story short, on saturday I had a full function Linux system.
Monday I have a win 95 system.
Ok, I have been trying to install FreeBSD. I finally got it to write to my
drive and install /bin. But, the problem is when I boot I get a invalid
format error?
My drives are :
on first controller disk 1 is a 1.2 GB DOS/Win 95 only.
on first controller disk 2 is 6.0 GB parition
FreeBSD 1GB
Linux 2 GB
Linux 2 GB
FreeBSD 1.1GB
At boot I have tried, 1:wd(1,a)kernel
1:wd(2,a)kernel
and they give me the invalid format error.
Now when I type 1:wd(2,b)kernel (which I believe is correct for my sytem)
I see the hash (\) start to spin, then the system locks.
Now, I did use the 2.2.8 boot floppy to install the 3.1 stable bin. I could
not get the 3.1 kern and MFS floppies to write to the disk, the could not
detect read my DOS part where I had /Freebsd/bin and /freebsd/compat22
Can someone help
