Damn Alfredo;

The last time i heard of Olivetti, was my colllege typewriter and i was driving
a Fiat bertone. The laughter you create in my soul is a riot of youth, capishe?

now... I've been working on this a while and jumped to the conclusion that freebsd5 install was hopeless.... or at least very hard: so here is what i did:

-write kern.flp and mfsroot.flp to fd with fdimage
-boot from the "kern" floppy... btx loader works! yeehaa!!
-insert second floppy ( mfsroot) and wait...at a certain point... whet I'm asked to boot the kernel ( actually it asks me to press enter to boot immediately or whait or press any other key for command prompt ).
after something like 10 sec system hangs and not even ctrl+alt+del work...need to press power button!

then I tryed an older version of freebsd... it's the 4.9 which still boots from cd with older computers. so downloaded the .iso image and burnt it with nero. now, when i boot from cd i receive an error message which is the one in the pic ( too lazy to write down the whole thing!)

ps that thing you see in the back ground is supposed to be my body... no shirt yep it's hot here 27C...in the morning!
