I am trying to install FreeBSD3.4 on a Compaq Deskpro 575(16mg/400mgHD).
The only difference from factory configuration is that I put a SCSI ZIP on
it to load \FreeBSD
\FreeBSD\bin
\FreeBSD\floppies
\FreeBSD\manpages
\FreeBSD\packages
Naturally packages was subset of the full CDROM.
I am not interested in XWindows on it and a CLI with bash "is good enough"
for my purposes. .:. the HD space limitations are not an acute problem but
an annoyance.
I ftp'd the latest 3.4 release since it was released after I got my 3.2 book
so I am using the 3.2 book & the 3.4 errata & release notes from
FreeBSD.org.
Problem definition:
Computer will boot & run Win3.1 without problem. Accesses ZIP drive & can
copy to \FreeBSD desired files.
.:. we know that basic hardware works
Create kernel & mfsroot floppies & boot in that sequence to installation
screen.
Installation dies at:
npx0 on motherboard
npx0 INT 16 interface
