I have followed the instructions but for some reason when I assign the mounted directories to partitions the information is not being saved even though I execute the write option. When rebooting during the installation process to boot from the HD, the system halts with the | immediately following the initial boot prompt (where it gives the kernel boot options). Any ideas why the the mount locations are not being saved or what else might be my problem? My machine is a 486/66 w/12meg ram and I have allocated 177 meg on my primary hard drive to load FreeBSD 2.0. The floppy boots fine and begins the installation with no problems. The log show that data has been copied to the hard disk but the system simply hangs up following the attempt to reboot from the HD. I would appreciate any help... thanks...
