BTX Halted error on FreeBSD 6 & VMware Server
I'm trying to install the latest FreeBSD boot cd on a VMware Server (running on CentOS). When I boot (whether it's option 1 or 2), I always get the same "BTX Halted" error. Is there something I need to disable before I can get VMware to play nicely with FreeBSD? ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
doing a minimal FreeBSD install
I'm looking to install only the bare essentials to FreeBSD and then install each program piece-by-piece afterwards. To do this, do I just need the first FreeBSD 6 ISO? Or can I get away with just the boot CD ISO and then install each port one-by-one? (Basically, I just wanna build a Nagios server, and that requires very, very little) ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"

It looks like you're best off with an operating system that requires little to no input on your part to set up.
