Ron, here is my methodology. 1.created a primary partion d:(fat 32) 2.formatted 2 1.44 3.5 fd 3.ran mkflp.bat to make kernel and mfsroot fd(complete) 4.booted the machine with kernel disk 5.got no keyboard message, suddenly i had no keyboard. My keyboard is USB(Should it matter) 6. rebooted hit enter used -Dh recognized the keyboard and started to install the kernel(completed). 7. asked for mfsroot disk, inserted disk and lost keyboard and the a: never would stop accessing. Questions 1. does freesbsd support fat32 2. looked for fdimage on cdrom-1 could not find it, is it the mkflpbat file? p.s. I am close to installing this thing, if anyone can see any error in my methodology of install, please feel free to elaborate. Also, I will definitely know how to install freebsd when this is over. Oh yeah, thanks for the help to all. Hope this time is the charm so I can start my unix journey. ===== SINCERELY, ERRIC G. CHANEY __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
