I had was the installation of Slackware Linux 20 or so times. I am having problems installing Free BSD 2.2.7 I can get Free BSD to install, but I am having two problems: 1: After the installation of system I was prompted to run XF86Setup, I assumed that this will be similar to the same command in Linux, and others told me that it willswitch to graphic mode. But it didn't. The program asked me to wait and I see on the screen " this will take a while ", after a while, there was nothing, the program just stoped and went straight to the next section, prasorted packages I did not have a chance to spacify my vedio card or anything. And I did not see any user interface. I am pretty sure that was not right. 2: After finally geting everything to install, I quit the installation program, and the program told me to remove floppy and it will reboot. Then it reboots, the computer give me the boot manager choise to chose between HD1 and HD2, I choose Free BSD, it started to load, but after it detects my 2 HDs, it says Intel Pentium FOOF detected installing workaround changing root device to wd1s1a panic cannot mount root reboot It happened everytime after I install the thing, and I did all the clean installation too, I reformatted the HD and devoted the entire HD to BSD. If you can help me please do. thank you. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-doc" in the body of the message
