1. Boot the kernel copy floppy for the type of disk controller you
have:
IDE/ST506/Adaptec 1542{A,B,C}/Adaptec 1742A: kcopy-ah-floppy
Bustek 742a/UltraStore {14,34}F: kcopy-bt-floppy
2. When that floppy asks you to insert the file system floppy insert
the floppy labeled file filesystem-floppy. Follow the instructions
that floppy gives you. Note what type of disk that it says to
copy the kernel to (sd0a or wd0a.) When it halts go to the next step.
3. Boot the same floppy you used in step one, this time when it asks
you to insert the file system floppy just press the return key.
Follow the instructions that the floppy gives you. Basically
type copy at the ``kc>'' prompt, then either ``sd0a'' or ``wd0a''
at the ``copy kernel to>'' prompt. When it halts go to the next step.
4. Remove all floppies from the drive, then press return to boot from
the hard disk. After it has booted and is asking what drive the
cpio floppy is in insert the floppy labeled cpio-floppy into a
floppy drive and answer the question about what drive it is in.
Note that 0 is the same as DOS drive A:, and 1 is the same as DOS
drive B:
5. After the cpio-floppy has been copied to the disk enter ``halt''.
6. Remove the cpio-floppy from the drive after the system has asked
you to press the return key to reboot, but before you press the
return key. Press the return key to boot again from the hard
disk.
7. At this point you will get 4 errors from the fsck on boot, this
is expected and is caused by files that where open when the
/dev entries where built. The system will correct these and then
halt. After it has halted, just press the return key to reboot
again.
8. Congratulations, you've got the mini FreeBSD system on the disk.
9. Follow the instructions about set_tmp_dir and extract that
well come on your screen after you press the return key.
10. You will get the following errors while extracting the bin
distribution, you can safely ignore them.
/tmp/tar: Could not create file bin/sh : Text file busy
/tmp/tar: Could not create file sbin/init : Text file busy
/tmp/tar: Could not link .profile to root/.profile : File exists
11. Run the configure command to set up some of the /etc files by
typing ``configure''. You will have to edit /etc/netstart after
this is you have a networking interface.
12. Reboot so that the system comes up multiuser by typing ``reboot''.
13. You should save the /.profile file to /.profile.install for use later
if you decide to install other parts of the system that you did not
install at this time and link /.profile to /root/.profile so when
the system comes up single user the proper .profile is read:
mv /.profile /.profile.install
ln /root/.profile /.profile
