I want to install FreeBSD to a parition (E:) on my second hard drive. I made the boot floppy and I am able to configure the kernel with no problem, but the installation insists on trying to install from the CD...so, the installation hangs and I have to reset the computer. I checked the FreeBSD manual on the web page, but only found instructions on how to prepare for a DOS Partition install (which I already followed). Did I miss something? -- - Randy Widell ---------------------- | | | mailto:rwidell@intnet.net | | http://members.tripod.com/~boogie | | | -------------------------------------
