Followed the simple instructions after the download and then it returns me to the main menu screen of the install program. I didnīt know what to do so I pressed Exit Install and told to take out any floppy and reboot. When it reboots it doesnīt happen anything. Just a underscore line blinking on the screen. Well with my poor expirience (and before trying to download again) I boot the PC with the installation floppy inside and typed 0:wd(0,C)kernel After that the booting started and test the hardware (everything fine) and said this changing root device to wd0c swapon: adding /dev/wd0s1b as swap device Automatic rebooting progress... /dev/rwd0a: clean, 18358 free (174 frags, 2273 blocks, 0.5% fragmentation) /dev/rwd0s1f: clean, 133227 free (3787 frags, 16180 blocks, 2.2% fragmentation) /dev/rwd0s1e: clean, 29316 free (4 frags, 3664 blocks, 0.0% fragmentation) /dev/wd0a on / :Specified device does not match mounted device Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted Enter pathname of shell or RETURN for sh: (I press return) # What Iīm missing after the installation is finished?
