Hi folks,
I really need your help to install the FreeBSD-2.1 (from Walnut
Creek) on my computer correctly/completely. The features of my
computer is as follows:
Processor: Pentium-166
Motherboard: Endeavor II with Triton Chipset
RAM: 32 EDO 60ns
Hard-drive: 2.1 GB EIDE from Seagate
CD-drive: 6x IDE from TEAC
Graphics: Diamond Stealth-64 Video VRAM (model 3400 XL) 4 MB
Monitor: CTX 1785GMe (1600x1280)
I tried to install the Unix system five times, but since I got a IDE
system I am not able to install the package completely. For instance,
I am not able to mount the "cdrom" and also I am not able to build the
tools in the "/usr/ports" directory as it is instructed by the manual
(typing "make" in every sub-directory). I have heard all the IDE
systems are supported in the current version of FreeBSD (2.1), but it
seems something is wrong with my own. It will be greatly appreciated
if you kindly direct me to the complete installation of my Unix
system.
Thanks,
Kazem.
