To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Priority: 3 MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; Charset=US-ASCII X-Mailer: Mailsmith 1.1.4 (Bluto) Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG Hi maybe a BSD hardware-install expert can help me out here :) I'm installing FreeBSD 3.3 from floppies onto an Abit BH-6 Pentium II motherboard with one floppy at /dev/Fd0 and one IDE hard drive at /dev/hda. When I insert the KERN.FLP file into my floppy drive and boot, I get the message: >> FreeBSD/i386 BOOH default: 0/fd(0,a)/kernel boot: disk error0x10 (lba=0x10) No /Kernel When I try this exact same floppy in another drive in another computer, it works fine. The floppy drive works 0K... What am I doing wrong here? What is the expected argument of that BOOT:_ Prompt? How do I direct it to look onto the floppy to boot from. Obviously my BIOS is confused, is that it? - HELPIE! - walt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
