Hubbard FreeBSD core team Clams are your friends Well, using the brand-new (I was *SO* excited) boot_144.flp, on my Dell from Hell, I still get fd0C: hard error reading fsbn 1928 of 1928-1935, with the miscellaneous zcat: stdin error. during the 'unzipping package portion'. Like I said this is on a DELL DGX DE/2, and the floppy has given me NO problems EVER with DOS, Windows && Nextstep.. I have installed DOZENS of commercial software packages with notsomuch as a hiccup. Does on-board floppy controller have anything to do with it? This is not the eventual machine that FreeBSD will go to, but I wanted to shake it down before buying a dedicated machine. My question to the net: What hardware have YOU got FreeBSD running on. I'm looking specifically for * Motherboard mfg (cpu, too) * Floppy i/o (controller, etc.) * SCSI config (if any... do you hook up your floppy to your Adaptec card??) * Ethernet I'm sure there are many lurkers who will see this info and go "Hey, I got a machine that can run FreeBSD, AND I WASN'T AWARE OF IT!!!" -or maybe not. =) Thanks Roy. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ Roy Lovejoy PHONE: 619.727.6825 INET:roy@AdeptSolutions.com Pixel PooBah FAX: 619.727.5869 ALINK: ............... adept Adept Solutions PTALK CIS: .......... 72447,1447 524 Avenida Verde DD: 619.598.5225 eWorld: .......... adeptsolns San Marcos CA 92069 AOL: .......... adeptsolns ------------------------------------------------------------------------ --------------------------------------------------------------------- Roy Lovejoy PHONE: 619.727.6825 INET:roy@AdeptSolutions.com Pixel PooBah FAX: 619.727.5869 ALINK: ............. adept Adept Solutions PTALK CIS: ........ 72447,1447 524 Avenida Verde DD: 619.598.5225 eWorld: ........ adeptsolns San Marcos CA 92069 AOL: ........ adeptsolns ---------------------------------------------------------------------
