Description Ian Rutherford 2001-09-07 00:30:00 UTC 
I am installing FreeBSD 3.2-Release, I made the two floppies with kern.flp and mfsroot.flp, the first floppy boots and asks for the MFSroot disk, I put it in.  It says "press enter to boot etc..", It makes no difference whether I wait or press enter, it does the same thing, reboots!

My system configuration is as follows:
CPU=386/33 no coprocessor
Memory=4Mb
CDROM=10x
Video Card=PhoenixView, VGA compatible
Bios=AMI

Fix: 

N/A
How-To-Repeat: It is reproducible on the above machine

Please try a newer release, and note that you need 12MB or memory to 
install.  If you were using 3.x because of that limitation (I'm not 
sure if 3.x can install on 4MB, either, though), then I'm sorry, but 
nobody here can help you, since we can't magically modify past 
releases.  Your only hope is to try a newer release with more memory.
