OK, I will certainly try that then, giving the proper
insturctions, since this Pentium1 FreeBSD PC will
soon have a Windows PC next to it.
However, I need a little advice/help: the handbook
is still out-of-date for making serial console
install floppies. Chapter 2.12 of the handbook talks
about kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, whereas we have three
floppies with 5.X install. Which one(s) of the three
floppies of 5.X needs to be modified by the procedure
of chapter 2.12 ?
"Windows HyperTerminal" is then the way to go, isn't
it?
Thanks,
Rob.
