Monaghan) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: FreeBSD Installation Problem (was 386BSD) Date: 16 Mar 1994 13:06:15 GMT Organization: The MITRE Corporation Lines: 15 Message-ID: <2m7087$41n@linus.mitre.org> NNTP-Posting-Host: nmc42.mitre.org X-Newsreader: TIN [version 1.2 PL2] Ooops! I made a mistake in my last post. I stated that I had downloaded 386BSD, when in fact the program was FreeBSD. Sorry :( To restate the problem: I downloaded FreeBSD and tried to install it onto a Gateway 4DX2-66V system with 8 Mb ram and a 325 Mb hard drive. The first of the three boot disks (KCOPY) seems to install properly, but when I insert the FILESYSTEM disk the keyboard is deactivated and there is no way to proceed with the installation. I have tried using KCOPY-AH, KCOPY-BT, and KC-ALTWD, and I have the same trouble. Also the cache on the machine has been turned off, but again, no change. Any ideas?
