I am trying to install FreeBSD 2.1.5-RELEASE on a 486SLC2 50MHz
laptop computer. Here is what I have done so far (in order):
1. Downloaded boot.flp and rawrite.exe from ftp.freebsd.org
2. Made the boot floppy
3. Rebooted and started the installation program
I followed the instructions on how to install it exactly, and here is what
happens: "Unable to copy 'bin man dict', wasn't found on media type you
chose" or something to that effect, and then says "Could not find kernel
image, you'll have a hard time putting this on your hard disk I'm afraid!".
What did I do wrong? From reading the instructions at
http://www.freebsd.org, I thought that was all I needed to do. Someone
please point me in the right direction. Replies to jlellis@colby.ixks.com
please. Thank you.
