I am attempting to install FreeBSD 2.0 on a 486SX with 4 megs of RAM and a 125 meg hard drive. After rawriting boot_144.flp and cpio.flp onto two 1.44 disks, I booted up and used fdisk and disklabel to set up the hard drive. (20 megs for /, 12 for swap, 93 for /usr.) Going to proceed, there was a message at the attempt to install sysinstall: recal failed ST0 80<invld> cyl fd0c: hard error rep. head> ST1 1<no_am> ST2 0 cyl 53 hd 1 sec 3 zcat: stdin: Input/output error This is in the background, but it keeps going. At the reboot from the hard drive: exec /stand/sysinstall: error 8 init: not found panic: no init And it panic reboots. This is a lot of fun, and a great way to spend the day, but I was wondering if there's something that I'm doing wrong, or any way that I could actually get it to boot. I tried using a different boot disk, and got exactly the same response. Thinking that it might be the hard drive, I then defined the first partition as /notouch, b as swap, e as /, and d as /usr. I made notouch 20 megs, on the principle that then it would encompass the space that / would have earlier. No dice, same error. Thank you very much for your attention!
