and  bsd guys:

hello,i have a very old toshiba t4600c (386, 33Mhz, 200Mb Hd. 8 MbRAM, no 
LAN, just serial port and floppy drive.) i  supose that  that  is  enough 
for  mini install freebsd 4.10 , but everything goes fine until toshiba  
asks for  second  floppy (mfsroot.flp) loads fine until machine  says :

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _

if  i  press enter  or  any  key  is  same...      machine  reboot (!!!)

the kernel configuration menu was  never launched.
if  i  want  to launch kernel configuration menu, i  press space bar  and  
apears  the  very  basic  system  prompt :
ok_

using  lsmod   i  can see kernel and  mfsroot modules loaded, i  type
unload an  i procceed manually:
insert kernel  floppy and say:
load /kernel
then i  change to mfsroot.flp and  i type " boot "  this  is  when kernel 
configuration menu apears,  i select  skip kernel  config and the Device 
Probe Results  comes, but  booting process fails when  system  trys  to  
mounting  root from ufs:fd0c   (...)
machine  says:
init: not found in path 
/sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall
panic:no init

syncing disks
done
uptime:  2s
automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press any key on console to  abort

any  clue???

please  letme  know  where  can  i  find  info  for  learn howto, or  
understand  what im  doing  wrong

please  RE to  this  mail address:

oskr690@hotmail.com

thanks  for  your  help

oscar wicks
