Hi, I'm an italian user. Yesterday I've tried to install FreeBSD in an old and empty 486. I've downloaded the floppies and I've made the images kern.flp e mfsroot.flp . I've switched-on the pc with kern.flp floppy inside....=20 at a point the computer has asked to insert mfsroot..... After a few minutes I've seen on the screen: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/boot/loader boot: e poi=20 >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOT Default: 0:fd(0,a)/kernel boot: No kernel What I have to do to continue? I've an HD and a floppy....no a CD-Rom reader.... BOOT see the units as disk0 --> floppy disk1 --> hard disk I've read that the relationship between BIOS and FreeBSD about the units = is different. I need to know how I can continue the installation and what is the = function of the image boot.flp of 2,8 Mb and finally, what I need apart the floppies kern mfsroot Thanks a lot
