I have downloaded the 'bin' directory & install floppy image from the au
freeBSD web site, and am having difficulty installing:
FreeBSD version: 2.2.1-Release
some details on my computer:
cyrix 686-120+
2 hdd: c: 1036 mb - can read/detect all details automatically
d: 258 mb - ditto
network card: 3com etherlink III 3c509tp port 300 irq 10
cd: atapi - seems to detect ok.
OK: i set up all the stuff that the boot comes up with to get rid of
conflicts, then go into the installation process.
using either novice or custom, i set up for :
install from dos partition (c: where the stuff is in freebsd/bin)
to d: <using a-auto to use entire disk>
install boot-manager < i am also using win 95 on c: >
it sets up the drive and copies all the stuff from the bin dir <the counter
goes>
then it says 'saving any boot -c changes to new kernel'
and freezes
when i press ctrl-c to abort, i see the message
'signal 11 caught:thats bad!'
filling the screen, then the computer reboots.
It seems fine up until that saving message - any ideas/suggestions ?
