Hello all, I've got a question about the install of the current FreeBSD. I am using the floppy install, and I dd (I'm a linux user) both the kern.flp and mfsroot.flp onto floppies, then I follow the instructions on this site: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/install-start.html I get to the end of step "2.3.1.1 Booting for the i386™" where it tells to boot the kernel and no matter what I do, it just reboots the computer! Therefore it looses whatever it tried to put in memory and starts over again. How can I get it to go to the kernel setup? My Hardware: IBM PS/Valuepoint 486 33MHz 8 MB RAM 2 x 212MB HD 3-COM network card no CDROM Thanks, Any help would be appreciated Brent
