I have an old HP Pavilion (not sure of the model, but it has an ASUS MEB-VM motherboard, floppy drive, 30gb hdd, Kingston EtheRx nic, Celeron 366mhz cpu, 256mb of ram) that I am intent on turning into a firewall/bastion host using OpenBSD. I do not have access to a cd burner, so I plan on installing via floppy and ftp. However, when I boot with the floppy in it, I get some standard dialog, followed by a hang. After a minute or so, it reboots itself, and tries again. The screen looks like this:
Loading;........... probing: pc0 com0 apm mem[634k 254M a20=on] disk: fd0 hd0+* >> OpenBSD/i386 BOOT 2.10 boot> booting fd0a:/bsd : 3287028| What should I do? It boots the fedora core 4 install on the hard drive fine, but I don't want the gui, and I want the security of OpenBSD :)
