Dear,


Finally I have a portable to instaal FreeBsd 3.3 on. After making the installation disks, I try to boot from diskette. This is what appears. After about one minute the system stops with the following statements.
/boot.config: -P
Keyboard: no
-
BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01

I have to reset the machine to be able to continue. I saw in the documentation an advise on using the 'userconfig' tool; Where on the net can I find this tool?  
What is going on??
 I have a Echos P133 Portable from Olivetti with DOS 6.3 installed.


See you,

Michel Van Simaeys
