Lines: 16 Message-ID: <3uaela$2ud@degas.ICSI.Net> NNTP-Posting-Host: ppp35.cent.com X-Newsreader: Forte Free Agent v0.55 I just obtained the current FreeBSD files and I followed all the instructions to make a boot discket so that i can install the rest of the files from my hard disk subdirectory......I formated a 1.44k floppy and used the rawwrite.com utility to write all the BOOT.flp file to the floppy. I inserted the floppy in drive A: and reset the PC but it hangs at boot without any message...I would have just ordered the CDROM for a turnkey installation...but I have an IDE CDROM Drive and I would have to go through the same process of making boot floppies so I just down loaded the files from the NET.... Do you use FreeBSD on your system..or do you have any suggestions as to what my next step should be.. Thanks
