Hi: I have been trying to install FreeBSD on a system which already has Red Hat Linux installed with grub boot loader on a x86 hardware. I managed to provide one of the partitions for FreeBSD and use the option "A' (Auto Defaults) for creating the "/", "/var", '/usr" and "/swap" configuration inside this parition. After selecting all the required packages I get an error stating it is not able to find necessary packages in the media and should it retry. This occurs for every package. I downloaded three *.iso images from the www.freebsd.org website and burnt in on 3 CDs and used the first CD which just contains the "/boot" directory for starting the installation. My question is: 1) Why doesn't it ask me to load the next CD in to the CDRom Drive during the installation, which I presume contains all the required packages and binaries? 2) Will I be able to still boot Linux if I allow FreeBSD to overwrite the MBR with its own boot loader, which it asks during installation?
Can somebody please help me with this issue? thanks, Sunil _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
