Re: FreeBSD Install question
What version of FreeBSD is this for? Can you boot the kern.flp floppy? Does this machine have a network card? If so what kind? Regards, David Yeske I have an older laptop that doesn't have a bootable CD-ROM. The bay either holds a CD Module or a Floppy module so I can't boot off the floppies and install from the CD-ROM. I have installed a small DOS partition and can access my FreeBSD CD-ROM, is there any way to invoke the install from within DOS. (RedHat has a batch file on the CD-ROM that allows the installer to launch, is there anything I can use to do this for FreeBSD?) Is it possible to boot off the floppies, switch out the Floppy module for the CD module and then use the CD? Any help or ideas would be appreciated. Thanks Rich B __ Do you Yahoo!? Y!

If you got the CDrom's You can also do start from the two floppies and use the cdrom as a source for the rest. You find the floppy images and a tool to make them(under DOS/Win) on the CD it self. -- Best regards, Alex The FreeBSD handbook http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/index.html How to get the best results from FreeBSD-Questions http://www.lemis.com/questions.html To Unsubscribe: send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with unsubscribe freebsd-questions in the body of the message
