Hi,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 4.2. PC configuration
is
Pentium 60, 8 MB ram, 630 MB hard disk.
When I am trying to boot using install disks
(kern.flp), it is able to load kernel and showing some
errors. Following is what I can see on monitor
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01
Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk0
BIOS drive C: is disk1
BIOS 639kB/7168kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Console: internal video/keyboard
BIOS drive A: is disk2
BIOS drive C: is disk3
BIOS 639kB/7168kB available memory
FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8

Can't work out which disk we are booting frm
Guessed BIOS device 0xffffffff not found by
probes, defaulting to disk0
vocabulary not found
compile not found
forth not found
builtin: not found
builtins not found
forth not found
builtin: not found
builtins not found
After 10 seconds it tries to load kernel and then
kernel.old. Both of which fails.
I have PicoBSD 0.41 floppy and PicoBSD boots and works
well.
Do I need to change any settings for proper booting?
Currently I have W95 and it uses complete hard disk. I
want to replace it with FreeBSD. Is it possible to
install FreeBSD so that it will replace W95 or I have
to first delete W95 partition and then install
FreeBSD?
Thanks & Regards,
Parag
