Floppy installation 7.4 won't work

[NIN3]

I created the four floppies. The instructions asked for (boot, kern1-3) and started to use them. It boots fine and asks for each one in turn, then asks for filesystem 1. What's that?

Please help me. It's a Windows 98 and no matter what I do it won't go.

The mfsroot1.flp image.

I was trying that but it wouldn't go. Something about bestel.....oh, it was corrupt. Works now. Next problem.

I get to the install then it stops and goes to a black screen. What's the minimum memory you need for FreeBSD?

This doesn't tell us much.

This doesn't tell us much.

But that's all that happens. All of a sudden the screen goes black when downloading the software from the disk. I tried again and it stoped for two hours doing the same thing. What is the minimum memory a computer needs to run FreeBSD? (I could not find this out simply from the readme's and such).

Check your memory chips to make sure they are healthy. Run memtest. if the rams are old you could have corrupt memory modules.
