Hello,
I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.2.5 without luck.
When I boot from an install floppy, I make suitable changes to the kernal
config using the menu based screen and press {q} to quit. I am asked to
save, I press {y} and the system crashes.
I have tried three different floppy disks and three different computers. I
have removed all 'fancy' hardware and am left with :
486dx66 with 8 meg ram, Tsung ET4000 VLB video and generic hard disk /
floppy disk controller.
It still crashes ! (Either freezes or reboots after 2 minutes or so)
What am I doing wrong ????
When the conf is saved, is it saved to the floppy or to the ram based file
system ?
David.
