I have a 1.2 GIG Maxtor HD.. it is partitioned:
1 - DOS/(Win95) - on it C:\FREEBSD
\bin (with all bins)
\dict
\compat (1x and 20)
\floppies
\manpages
\packages
I make a boot disk, partition a large FreeBSD set..
do the auto maker (with the disklabel editor).
so it looks like this:
Part Mount Size Newfs
---- ----- ---- -----
wd0s1 <none> 226MB DOS
wd0s2a / 32MB UFS Y
wd0s2b <none> 107MB SWAP
wd0s2e /var 30MB UFS Y
wd0s2f /usr 827MB UFS Y
then it says..
Loading root image from:
wd0s1
then it says..
Failed to load the ROOT distribution. Please
correct this problem and try again.
---
I don't know how to correct this problem. Should
I copy the C:\FREEBSD directory to my ROOT directory
instead?
I am stumped!
Thanks,
Neil
