I'm ttempting to install ver. 2.0.5 (from the Walnut Creek CD) on a
Pentium-133, 32 Meg, Adaptec AHA-2940 ver 1.21. The machine is already
running Windows NT Workstation 3.51 with no apparent problems.
Running "install.bat" from the CD (in NT's emulated DOS box) results
in a "not enough memory" message, when more than 630k is available.
Trying to boot from a floppy after copying the the boot image from
the CD just puts the machine in a constant rebooting loop -- there's no
FreeBsd prompt, just a reboot after the Adaptec bios installs.
Apologies if this is an old question, but couldn't locate any wise
words on the FreeBsd home page or the newsgroups.
