and bsd guys:

hello,i have a very old toshiba t4600c (386, 33Mhz, 200Mb Hd. 8 MbRAM, no
LAN, just serial port and floppy drive.) i supose that that is enough
for mini install freebsd 4.10 , but everything goes fine until toshiba
asks for second floppy (mfsroot.flp) loads fine until machine says :

Hit [Enter] to boot immediately, or any other key for command prompt.
Booting [kernel] in 9 seconds... _

if i press enter or any key is same... machine reboot (!!!)

the kernel configuration menu was never launched.
if i want to launch kernel configuration menu, i press space bar and
apears the very basic system prompt :
ok_

using lsmod i can see kernel and mfsroot modules loaded, i type
unload an i procceed manually:
insert kernel floppy and say:
load /kernel
then i change to mfsroot.flp and i type " boot " this is when kernel
configuration menu apears, i select skip kernel config and the Device
Probe Results comes, but booting process fails when system trys to
mounting root from ufs:fd0c (...)
machine says:
init: not found in path
/sbin/init:/sbin/oinit:/sbin/init.bak:/stand/sysinstall
panic:no init

syncing disks
done
uptime: 2s
automatic reboot in 15 seconds - press any key on console to abort

any clue???
