I am bought the four disk set and the book from walnut creek. The book is not very much help execpt for line alot of people just give up on installing feebsd, and on the front of the book it says easy to intall. I have spent on you guys an have no got much out it. I need some help! I get the message "write failure on transfer every so often". But at the end I get the message "can't find kernal image to link on the root file system." You are going to have a hard time booting the hard drive I am afraid. Then when I try to start the system I get to the prompt "F1...BSD" "EFUALT F?" I Press F1 and get the message "cant find kernal" then the message "then I get the message Boot default: 0:wd(0,a)kernal" over and over and over and over etc. I tried to install the the system six times today and the day is over. I am ready to give up. It Gives me the "can't find kernal image to link on the root file system." You are going to have a hard time booting the hard drive I am afraid." at the end of a long install. Where can I find some documentaion on this problem and how to fix it? You dont have a search engine like novells tech assistance.
