Hi I have been using FreeBSD for about a year, recently an old IPX was
donated to my group. I would like to use it as a web server and perhaps
as a file server. I have run into one major problem when attempting to
install, after dd'ing the miniroot image using the FreeBSD machine, I
reboot the sparc by entering a <stop>+<a> then typing 'boot floppy' at the
prompt. The machine reboots and attempts to boot off the fd device but it
dumps me back to the 'ok' prompt after displaying a memory error.
What am I doing wrong?
