I assume you're referring to 1.1.5? I downloaded the bin_tgz.* files and put them on 1.2M disks. When I issue the ``load_dos'' command, I type ``A'' for the drive, but then it just reads a little bit of the disk, and it says, ``mount: invalid argument'' and it This has been reported to sometimes happen with disks that aren't from-scratch DOS formatted, but merely recycled by removing files from them. How did you make your distribution floppies? Also, when the kernel is booting, when it recognizes device ``pc0'' my cursor disappears. I assume this is on account of my video card (it's a Trident). Does a Trident card not work correctly with FreeBSD? This must be 1.1R you're talking about, since in 1.1.5R the console driver is sc0! Jordan -- Jordan K. Hubbard FreeBSD core team Friend to mollusks
