I tried installing FreeBSD 1.1-Release from the BSDisc (v1,#2). The
initial install went fine (once I abandoned the cdins* single floppy
installation and used the three disk method). But after extracting
from the mirror/FreeBSD* directory, when I reboot, I get a panic
dump from "init died". I've tried reinstalling, in case it was from
the initial mess from the cdins* install script, but I still got the
same crash on booting.
Is there a step or fix I am missing? I looked at most of the obvious
README's and 00BSDisc files, and didn't notice anything about this.
I don't have a bootable disk other than the installation disks, so I
haven't been able to do much with trying to play with the rc and
rc.local, in case they are causing a problem. The init I am
assuming is being used is the /sbin/init.18 (there's no "init" I
could find -- is that the problem?)
Any help greatly appreciated,
-bkc
