Quigley) Subject: FreeBSD 1.1 Installing to a Zenith Laptop Message-ID: <DBLKrE.G87@news.tcd.ie> Sender: usenet@news.tcd.ie (TCD News System ) Organization: University of Dublin, Trinity College Date: Wed, 12 Jul 1995 09:52:25 GMT Lines: 30 Hi, I'm currently trying to install a rather older version on FreeBSD 1.1 onto a Zenith Z-Note 433 Lnc+ . I know I should be using a more recent version but for the moment this is all I have. I seem to be getting a Gateway like keyboard lockup as soon as I boot up with the floppy. I get as far as FreeBSD Boot"0x90000:639/7168k of memory [Revision 1.9.2.1 $] use hd(1,a)/386bsd to boot sd0 when wd0 is ds0 installed Boot:[[[Fd(0,a)]/386bsd][-s][-a][-d]]:- (At this point it hangs...) I've tried hitting the shift/Numlock a number of times but to no avail. Has anyone run into this problem and solved it, I think I will try installing a higher version and this might solve the problem but I'd like to know is it even possible to install on this machine type Thanks for any advice.
