Just a question after several attempt to install FreeBSD without
success, or at least without being able to get the system to boot (mount
the boot drive).
In a word, how.
The system is as follows:
Tekram P5T30-B4 PCI Pentium motherboard
Intel P55 MMX 166 clocked at 200MHz
64 Meg of ram
Cyber Drive IDE/ATAPI CD Rom
Diammond Stealth 3D 2000 video IRQ 9
Acer ALN-201 Series ethernet card IRQ 10
ESS 1868 Sound card IRQ 5
PS2 mouse
Primary Master is 6.8 G Maxtor which is split in two, the fist partition
is running 98 with the second for games. 13176/16/63
Primary Slave is the CD Rom
Secondary Master is a Fujitsu 1.7 G 3298/16/63 as a windows drive
Secondary Slave is a Western Digital 1.2 G 2484/16/63 and this is the
one that I am trying to install FreeBSD onto as a an entirely Unix disk,
I can change the boot disk in bios to this one without a problem, I can
also as mentioned above, boot off the CD without a problem, but come to
bring the system up on this drive after installation, now that is where
the fun starts.
That being the case, any help or offers of ideas would be most
gratefully received.
