Monaghan) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: 386BSD Installation Problem Date: 15 Mar 1994 21:48:01 GMT Organization: The MITRE Corporation Lines: 20 Message-ID: <2m5aeh$i98@linus.mitre.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: nmc42.mitre.org X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] HELP! Here's the problem: I just downloaded 386BSD from freebsd.cdrom.com, it is the latest version. The system I am installing it onto is a Gateway 2000 486-66V, 8MB ram with a 325 MB hard drive. I have created the three boot disks - KCOPY-BT, FILESYST, and CPIO-FLO (DOS name conversions from UNIX) The system wil boot off of the KCOPY disk then ask for the "FILESYSTEM" disk. I insert the disk, give the correct drive letter, and the keyboard is de- activated. There is no way to tell the system to continue installing 386BSD. I have tried using KCOPY-AH since the install notes say the either one can be used with an IDE drive. Has anyone else run into this problem? Is there a solution? Any ideas will be greatly appreciated! -T
