I have finally managed to get FreeBSD v2.0 (from the Walnut Creek CDROM) to boot on my machine. It is a 486DX50 on an AIR EISA/VLB motherboard, 20MB RAM, AHA-2742 SCSI Controller, Cirrus 5422 video, IBM 1GB SCSI HD, Plextor 4Plex SCSI CDROM, Conner Floppy tape, etc. I managed to get the bindist to go on ok. The installation failed on the X11R6 installation and I got dumped into a shell. It boots on the HD ok, but gets an error (page fault?), core dumps and continues on. From the shell I mounted the CDROM (/dev/cd0c) and tried to 'sh extract.sh' for the man pages, and X11R6. When I try to use man I get a core dump, grotty.core. When I try to extract the X distribution I get a core dump when it tries to run tar, tar.core. >From where I am, how do I get tar and man to work properly? What is the proper way to get the rest of the system installed. Should I just start again and make sure I extract the man pages before I try to extract the X? Any help for this newbie to FreeBSD is welcome. Kerry P.S. Where on the CDROM is adduser?
