I successfully booted FreeBSD/Alpha on my PC164LX from floppy disks with the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp images on them. I had intended to install FreeBSD from floppy disks, but when I chose this option on the installation media screen, it told me that there was no floppy drive device. Even though I don't have a FreeBSD CD, I chose the CDROM option out of curiosity, and it said that there was no CDROM drive, even though I do have a SCSI CDROM drive. It did this on both versions 3.4 and 3.3, on both Novice and Custom installation modes. The disk partitioning program recognizes the UWSCSI hard drive correctly. What could be causing the problem? Thanks in advance. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-alpha" in the body of the message
