Dear Daemons:
I wonder if you or anyone you know has had any success installing
FreeBSD on a Gateway 2000 machine. I have a gw2k 200MMX Pentium, with
integrated Ensoniq PCI sound and ATI Rage II video on the motherboard.
It has 32 Mb SDRAM and a 3.8 Gb EIDE Hard drive. I am having a hell of
a time installing
FreeBSD on it. I bought the CD from Cheap*Bytes, it is version 2.5.2,
IIRC. I've gotten to the config program, but it hangs when trying to
write the boot manager, and in any case, there are no options for my
sound & video cards, and I'm not sure if it has the right driver for my
CD-ROM (it is a Toshiba 20X). I'm kicking myself in the butt for not
making my own machine so I could pick out BSD-compatible hardware, but
I wonder if you know of anyone who has successfully installed FreeBSD on
a machine like this, and how they did it.
Thank You,
Christopher L. Wood
