I ahve a 486 66mhz Gateway I am trying to install FreeBSD on it. I d/l =
all the files and burned them to a CD for install (/bin directory). The =
problem I am having is:
A) my cd-rom is not detected. It is a NEC 2X on IDE. I had (have?) the =
DOs drivers for it and it was working fine then.
B) When I boot the machine now I get:
No /boot/loader
(etc..)
No /kernel
FreeBSD (etc...)
Default: 0:ad(0,a)/kernal
Any ideas? I did stop the installexpecting it to detect my cd-rom when =
it re-booted.
Please if you have any ideas could youmail themon.
BTW: If I have sent this to the wrong mail addy pls forward to correct =
and I'll know from there on in
Thanks in advance,
Dermot.
