Hello sir:
Thank you very much for you help !
In the past two days I check the 3 problem carefully . Now I think I
have solved two of them :
the first : after Install of FreeBSD 2.2.5 , the bootmanager can not
boot from Windows95( version 97 ) , I solve it by the following steps:
a.) Boot from a DOS boot up floppy disk
b.) format the disk partition used by windows95 by:
a:> format c: /q/u
c.) a:> sys c:
d.) set up cdrom driver for dos
e.) boot up from hard disk , now boot manager works fine
f.) reinstall the windows95
g.) reconfig all the windows95 , including ethernet card , alloc
Ip address for it , all is fine for windows 95
h.) boot up from hard disk , but boot manager is destroied .
i.) Boot up from FreeBSD's boot floopy disk ,
choose custom install , go to partition , choose 'w' , and
reinstall boot manager
j.) boot up again
Now boot manager works fine for two os.
Although , I can switch between two OS , but I think the means
that
I used to solve the problem is not the best method , I destroy the
original windows95 system . perhaps there are another better
method ?
The second : X windows ,
I do as you tell me , make a link X to XFREE86_SVGA, now the
command startx can start the x . special thanks for Laszlo Vagner.
Now I just has one problem , that I can not use my ethernet card .
I have tried to change the IRQ of it , change to ed0 , but it can
not work . because I am a total new comer of FreeBSD , I have too
little knowlege about it . so , I am not sure weather I have do exactly
as you told me .
Well , Mr. Mark Turpin told me that I should add a default gateway
to make use of our office router , I don't know how to add it .
I remember that I have config a gateway when I config the Network
Interface , I am not sure wether Mr mark refers to this ? Are there a
file called defaultrouter in FreeBSD ?
Thank you very much ! and Long for your help !
