Recently, I have installed FreeBSD 5.4, first I would
like to thank all those who work on for such a stable,
useable operating system. I have tried OpenBSD and
NetBSD on many of my computers, which would not boot
at all. FreeBSD is the only OS that will boot on many
of the computers we have and h

I tried to boot the kernel on the hard disk
/boot/kernel/kernel directly from a boot2 prompt on
one of the boot floppies by typing
ad(0,a)/boot/kernel/kernel, but I got the message BTX
halted. This is quickly becoming very frustrating.
I thought there was someway to boot the system on the

Thank you for this information. This should come to be
quite handy if I can get the system to boot, if ever.
The chflags command isnt on the fixit floppy it
seems.

wished to delete the 4.6 system from the filesystem
and install 5.4 onto the same UFS filesystem, while
keeping /usr/home in place. I deleted everything
except /usr/home (which I want the i
