My old computer failed so I am loading BSDI 2.0 onto my new computer. The
new system has the following configruation.
Pentium 90
EIDE A: floppy disk
C: 1 Gig disk - PRI DOS
PCI bus D: Partition 1 PRI DOS 1 Gig
Partition 2 EXT Dos 3 Gig
Logical Partition
E: 1 Gig
F: 1 Gig
G: 1 Gig
H: CDROM
I would like to install BDSI on drive F. What would be the procedure to
load UNIX on F: ?
My first problem is the boot will not find the CDROM drive. I have tried
mcd0, mcd1, mcd2, mcd3, mcd4 and mcd5. Still no luck. Where have I gone
wrong?
