Hi, I have been tried to install the FreeBSD from CD-ROM with boot floppy
disk for several days. I hope you can help me out as soon as possible because
I am so eager to use UNIX.
I want to have 2 Operating Systems, MS-DOS and UNIX, on my PC. So, Here is
the steps I had tried:
Assume : C is hard drive.
A is floppy drive.
D is CD-ROM drive with top level of a FreeBSD.
1) copy all important files from CD-ROM to C-drive.
C> MD C:\FREEBSD
C> XCOPY /S D:\FREEBSD\ BIN C:\FREEBSD\BIN\
C> XCOPY /S D:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES C:\FREEBSD\MANPAGES\
2) copy the boot.flp image onto A-drive.
A> d:\FREEBSD\tools\fdimage FREEBSD\floppies\boot.fip a:
3) scan and defragment the hard drive of my PC.
4) reboot succesfully.
5) didn't modify the kernel configuation.
6) set option.
7) novice installation.
8) Problem : I have the following error message and don't know how to fix it.
1. No root device found.
You must label a partition as / in the label editor
2. No swap devices found.
You must create at least one swap partition.
3. No /usr file system found.
4. No /var file system found.
Counldn't make file system properly, abort.
Please help! Thanks!
JW.
