Per the suggestions of many people I have recently switched from
386bsd-0.1 to FreeBSD (I just blew away the old partition and started
from scratch with FreeBSD-1.0-RELEASE). I got the kernel installed and
the mini-freebsd installed. I go to unpack it and get quite a few more
errors than I expected (several hard disk errors other than 'file
already exists' -- the only error mentioned in the install notes.)
Nevertheless it seems to go well. I type 'configure' as per
instructions. Unfortuantely at that point I begin seing things like
'sed: Can't allocate memory' and continue to get similar messages. The
bootup process reports properly that I have 640/15360k of memory but it
makes it sound like that's not enough. I can't believe that! Could
someone please help me figure this out. Private email would be
preferred as I don't always have access to the newsgroup, but I always
have access to email. Thank you.
