Getting FreeBSD Installed
Ok, another epidsode with the old pc. I have Mandrake installed on it now... not the newest version... i think it's 9.0? Anyway, with Mandrake's business an uncertainty, and me always wanting the newest stuff, I need a change of OS.
Call me stupid, but i can't find ISO images on Red Hat's Site...
SUSE doesn't let you download the newest version right?
So, onto FreeBSD.
So far so good, easy to find ISOs, good instructions on which ones to download, burning went flawlessly.
But, the pc won't boot from cd, even when i change the start up options in the BIOS. So, i make the recommended boot floppies. When i instert the first floppy (kern.flp) everything goes smoothly and then it askes me for the other disk (mfsroot.flp). It put a screen of text on my moniter and then stops... nothing seemed to be doing anything... the floppy wasn't clicking, the cd wasn't spinning...
Is there a way inside mandrake to force it to boot from a cd? Or, should i delete mandrake/format? If so, could you tell me how to do that... i'm a *NIX newbi
