Hi, I'm a newbie and subscript to the newbies mailing list but it said I should ask questions here. I don't subscript to this list therefore if you can answer my question could you send respond directly to me. I just got an HP Kayak PII 400 from eBay and install 4.2 on it and this is what I get when I first reboot the system. By the way after a few install I borrowed a copy of Win98 and after a long install Win98 came up okay. Here's the display message on a new install and reboot: BTX loader 1.00 BTX version is 1.01 Console: internal video/keyboard BIOS drive A: is disk0 BIOS drive C: is disk1 BIOS 638kB/129984kB available memory FreeBSD/i386 bootstrap loader, Revision 0.8 (jkh@bento.FreeBSD.org, Mon Nov 20 11:41:23 GMT 2000) Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt Booting [kernel]... can't load 'kernel' can't load 'kernel.old' It is also take quite awhile between the line "(jkh@bento..." to the "Hit [Enter..." Then of course the "Booting [kernel]" and "can't load" takes a few minutes. I'm not sure whether the system is bad or I missed some steps in the installation. I had install a 4.0 awhile back with success. Any help will be appreciated... Yong To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
