Christopher Davies) Newsgroups: comp.os.386bsd.questions Subject: Installing FreeBSD from diskette Date: 21 Jan 1995 14:26:23 -0500 Organization: 24 Hour Computers, Greenbelt, MD USA Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3frn4v$3ia@explorer.clark.net> NNTP-Posting-Host: clark.net Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=ISO-8859-1 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit I'm trying to install FreeBSD from floppy (havn't been able to get cu to work, it keeps complaining of a locked port when it tries to dial), however, I have not been able to find any information about what the distribution disks should look like. I've copied the files in order to a bunch of disks in the bindist directory, but it requests the shell be loaded on each floppy or it doesn't read the floppy. Any idea where I can find out what files should be on what disks? I've got a ton of Faqs, but none seem to address this (at least none match with grep to either 'floppy' or 'bindist' and have any information) -- Christopher Davies | Voice: +1-301-513-0163 FIDO 1:109/549 24 Hour Computers | Fax: +1-301-513-0165 CIS: MHS:CHRIS@24HOUR Hyattsville, MD USA | Data: +1-301-513-5297 Emergency Service/Sales | Internet: Chris@24hour.com
