Okie dokie. I tried the recomended "Will MacBSD work on your
machine?" bit from the FAQ on www.macbsd.com. It suggested I gte the
very latetest booter (1.9.4 I think) and the newest kernel (GENERIC 93
or something close to that). I followed the instructions to the tee
and when I chose boot now from the menu *pewf* the machine hung. SO
I figured, hey, this seems to be the absolutle latest kernel, maybe I
should try a different one. So I got GENERIC 77 and followed the
instructions again, to the tee, and *pewf* it hung. So I rebooted,
walked away from the machine and about a half an hour later I noticed
that my machine was still trying to vainly boot. It was caught in an
endless loop somewhere just before it threw the icons on the desktop.
All this and I found out, hey, I have NO bootable floppies and it
would seem there are no bootable floppies available over the net.
Well, I am off to research this a little more in a sea of FAQ's.
Thanks so much...
