I just installed FreeBSD on an old 486 so I can learn it. Did a bareassed floppy install of just the /bin distribution. Got the thing to boot up, and once it did, I didn't get a login prompt, but instead this: Cannot find fstab entry for / And something else, about skipping scans for disks. I think. Anyway, after this goes up, I have a prompt, good ole sh, and I can switch to csh if I so desire. My point is, what does this mean? How can I fix it? Will it involve chanting Bob Dylan songs whilst smearing goat's blood over the monitor? Have a nice day, hour, minute, lifetime, eternity - TheDuck
