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 (jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org, Mon Nov 20 11:41:23 GMT 2000) 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 (jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org, Mon Nov 20 11:41:23 GMT 2000) 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?
