I've used the FTP method to install. I can see the bin distribution downloading and DEBUG output shows it successful. When the system reboots, F2 in the booteasy does not work. I was wondering if the fixit floppy may be useful. I've never used it. Can I get a list of commands for it? Does it have a way to check the filesystem? Can I boot from it? I used the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp. Do these obsolete the boot.flp? My machine is a HP Pavillion with a single drive (Quantum Bigfoot 11.5MB) Thanks, Bob Olbrich rjob@gulftel.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
