I'am completely new to BSD386. I did the flowing: 1. ftp'ed from nic.funet.fi (Finland) to a HP720: BUGNFIX.FORM DISTRIBUTION.HOSTS ROADMAP bootable/ tools/ CAREWARE.INFO INSTALL.NOTES SERVICE.SUPPORT etcdist/ unofficial/ CONTRIB.LIST MANIFEST SOFTWARE.FORM patches/ COPYRIGHT REGISTRATION bindist/ srcdist/ 2. Made disketts dist an fix with 'rawrite' on my pc 3. Made 40Meg partition with fdisk v6.0 4. Booted dist and ran 'install' 5. Since i wanted to use ethernet I did ( 0x300 irq 2) 'ifconfig ne0 inet my-ip-adress' 6. ftp'ed everyting in bindist/ from the HP720 to my bsd pc into /tmp/. 7. Ran 'extract bin01' on the bsd pc in /tmp The problems: After starting 'ifconfig' at point 5 above the bsd pc screen got filled up with garbage like 'neinitstartarstartar...' typing ftp ipadress worked anyway. The extraction at point 7 complained about diskspace. When I try to run vi it complains about /etc/termcap I guess a 40Meg partition is not sufficient for the ethernet installation. Questions: 1. Whats wrong with the above especially point 5 2. Can I mount the HP-720 disk to be able to run bsd:/tmp/extract (tried 'mount hps-ipadress:/disk41 /disk41' with no success) 3. How an I extract the cpio files on my HP ? Can anybody answer me preferably via mail: magnus@quark.lu.se Many tanks ! -- Magnus Thulesius e-mail: magnus@quark.lu.se
