Hi there!
I just installed FreeBSD on my system, to try it out, but I can't get it to
start. I installed it into the partition ("slice") that Linux calls
/dev/hdc3, a 674 Mbyte partition. This contains a 64 Mbyte swap area (I have
64 Mbyte RAM), and the rest as the root partition (I prefer to have it all
in one file system).
But, I can't get it to boot. Since my computer already carry DR-DOS/Win3,
OS/2, Win95 and Linux, using IBM BootManager, I didn't install FreeBSD's
BootManager, but instead added the partition to the IBM BootManager. My
problem now is that if I try to select the FreeBSD partition from the Boot
Manager, all I get is this:
Can't find file boot.config
Can't find file boot.help
[...]
Boot default: 1:wd(1,a)kernel
boot:
and if I press Enter, it says
Can't find kernel
I'm at a loss what to do here, I haven't seen anything like this with any of
the other OSes I've installed. Any help is appreciated!
