  Subject: installation problems


  Hello again !
   
  I made the following partition (with 572MB for the beginning) : 
   
  /  90MB
  swap  100MB
  /usr  100MB
  /var  282MB
   
  (all are file system except the second who is swap).
   
  I choose minimum Installation (choice number 6 if I remember).
   
  All was until this line : 
   
  5776384 bytes read from bin dist, chunk 25 of 102@   940.2 Kb/sec
   
  And then came the following message : 
   
  "Can't find a kernel image to link to on the root file system ! you're going to have a hard time getting this system to boot from the hard disk, I'm afraid."
   
  I can boot BSD, do some command as ls or help, but I think I missed something. Can you tell me What ?.
   
  Thank you.
