Hi, Would it be possible for me to create a custom boot kernel for a PC on = to stiffies and then use that to boot and install FreeBSD from the CD? If yes, any pointers? Reason I'm asking is because all the version 4 FreeBSD distro's refuse = to give me the kernel config menu on boot from the install CD or = stiffies (just beeps twice) and then asks me to enter to boot the = default kernel which either hangs the PC or just disabled the keyboard - = meaning I can't install FreeBSD. It's an AMD Athlon 600MHz with a GigaByte 7IXE MotherBoard(with latest = BIOS update). Any help would be greatly appreciated. I 'really' want to get FreeBSD on = this box as it's much better @ firewalling than Linux!
