I am having trouble creating and/or using a FreeBSD boot floppy on my PC. It's a 486DX/66. I am pretty sure the problem is in the creation of the boot disk using fdimage. At the DOS prompt I entered the following line: fdimage -f 1.44M -v boot.flp a: I got the prompt to enter a floppy in drive a: (which I did), and then the information regarding the formatting of the various tracks. When it got to the point of the operation regarding writing, I got the following lines: Writing cyl 0 hd 0 Sector not found When I tried to boot my machine with this disk, the PC kept rebooting after telling me that it couldn't find the kernel. Any ideas? Mike Hampton --------------------------------------------------------- Get Your *Web-Based* Free Email at http://www.hotmail.com ---------------------------------------------------------
