FreeBSD Install error

Fmarvez · #1 (**permalink**) 04-13-2002

Not entirely sure if this belongs here but here it is. I am installing FreeBSD, downloaded the ISO from their website, created the Bootdisk. And when I try to boot, I get this error, 'Panic, Couldn't Inialize. Will not continue without Inialization'. I get the prompt telling me that it will restart. Any Ideas?

Maybe you didn't image copy the floppies correctly, if you're sure you image copied them and NOT copied them try switching the files (fdimaging MFSroot.flp into the previous kern.flp and vice versa) cause I faced the same problem with FreeBSD and it didn't load kern.flp except when I've done that

Another precaution is that if the FreeBSD files are on the same drive of the computer you're installing FreeBSD on it remember that when FreeBSD changes the filesystem of the drive it reformats it so the needed files will be deleted ..

Thanks for your help, the image didn't copy right, all fixed now
