>Description:
I want to install Freebsd 6.2 on one of my old boxes (an old Celeron 1.2 Ghz). however when I try to boot up from the Installer CD to install the software. I ended up to this prompt:
Manual root filesystem specification:
<fstype>:<device> Mount <device> using filesystem <fstype>
eg. ufs:da0s1a
? List valid disk boot devices
<empty line> Abort Manual Input
mountroot>
tried doing the suggestions from this thread:
