Am attempting a floppy install and have read and reread all the
documentation available at Freebsd.org. Am running Windows 95 on a 486DX
with a 815Mb IDE drive. Have successfully created the boot image file and
copied all the /bin to floppies I formatted myself.
Setup runs successfully as follows: default kernel loads (after I resolve
all possible conflicts), I am able to partition my disc, load the boot
manager, and label my partitions. Please see attached file for debugging
details (which I have set to high in Options.)
After choosing Minimum Install and Floppy Distribution, setup creates
holographic shell and prompts for the 1st floppy. Once floppy inserted and
press Enter, it returns me to the Choose Distributions menu. Again, please
see attached file for debugging details.
Debugging shows floppy successfully mounted; also several screens of
directories created. However, several commands are returning statuses of 0.
Any thoughts would be gratefully appreciated.
