Hello, I'trying to reuse an ancient 386sx for a router I've loaded FreeBSD on two disks from another machine (using dump/restore on the working PC), so my 386sx just has to boot - normally I've kep a small DOS partition at the begining of the 1st disk and I've got BootEasy when I type F2 at booteasy's prompt, I get an error message (from the BIOS, because of the partition type ?) Non-system disk type any key to reboot when I try to boot from a floppy (with wd(2,a) in /boot.config), I get another message : Disk error 0x7 (lba=0x0) no /kernel What does this error message mean ? (knowing that it comes from /usr/src/sys/boot/i386/boot2/boot2.c does not help) Time to try PicoBSD, or is there a method to get past the boot2 error ?
