I'd like nothing more than to install freebsd on my system.. however it won't even boot from floppy. I got the 2.1 boot.flp and rawrite. I made the floppy and tried to boot from it, but all that happened was the floppy light would turn on adn stay that way but it wouldnt boot... I tried several times and the same thing happens it just sits there not even reading from the disk. I tried booting to dos from a floppy and that worked fine. Then I pulled down the 2.0.5 boot.flp with the same results. My system consists of: CPU: 486-66 RAM: 8 BIOS: AMI dated 11/11/92 SCSI adapter: DTC 3270VL I was thinking it might be the SCSI adapter which controls the floppies... but would that prevent it from booting at all?!? Any help would be greatly appreciated. -AMB --
