It could be that just one step failed during the install, but that you can copy /kernel.GENERIC to /kernel after the system boots. 3. Please don't send these things to freebsd-doc; this is a mailing list for discussing the documentation, not doing tech support. That's questions@freebsd.org (as the various READMEs clearly state). - Jordan > I am attempting to install FREEBSD on an old 486PC.
