Hi all,

I've installed FreeBSD a few times now.  However,  I am trying to get an
old 386-25SX with 10Mb RAM to run 2.2.2.

Currently the machine appears to be hung while displaying the line:

rootfs is 1440 Kbyte compiled in MFS

How long should it take to progress from here?  Has it hung?

It identifies everything in the machine fine.  (ESDI HDD, NE2000 clone,
LPT, SIO0, FDD).  Any ideas?

Hugh.
