Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk ok, heres the deal: I am running DOS 6.20 and Win 3.1 on my c:\ and i have a blank slave (d:\), my CD-ROM used to be D:\, but when i installed my slave, my CD-ROM became g:\, cause of stacker etc. I d/l all the files i need to install freebsd. /bin /des /dict /manpages /info /doc. i have but these as subdirs in my freebsd dir. c:\freebsd\, I started to install FreeBSD, i went through all the stuff, and set it up fine, I chose the "DOS Partition" media, or soemthing similar to that, it was "dos " and continued on my way. It began setting everything up fine, until i guess, close to the end, and finally said: "the following errors existed in your installation" then said, "can't find the following dirs" /bin /des /manpages /doc, i think thats the dirs that it couldn't find...anyway, do you know why it can't find the dirs??? i have set it up like the installation file said. but no luck...any ideas??? The bootmanager and everything works fine, but when i select F5 (disk2) and go into freeBSD, it just goes to the boot screen, and said "can't find /kernel" Oh ya, now i can't access the slave in dos, and it doesn't show up anywhere, and now when i type a cmd in DOS, it tries to read of the CD!! crazy eh? Please respond as quickly as possible Thanx A LOT! Pete Baldwin
