Installing FreeBSD on an old Compaq Evo n400c laptop
I got this rarity with a preinstalled Windows.
Without thinking twice, I decided to install FreeBSD =).
My girl has left vseravno, but I want sex ...
No sooner said than done.
')
The very first problem I encountered:
and how sobsno BSD set?
There is no drive or floppy.
From flash drives and external media can not boot.
The network can not boot too.
Several ideas developed in my brain at once:
1. pull out the screw, and with the help of the chug there to pile up the BSD.
2. make a small image (> 700 meters) where to put the contents of the boot disk and try to rewrite the NT loader.
3. search for other options in Google.
I immediately discarded the first option, because this solution is not beautiful by nature.
But the second and third interested me.
After a little browsing in the internet, I found UNetbootin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UNetbootin)
(to install ubuntu, you should use wubi; and for pure debian, goodbye-microsoft.com )
Downloaded.
Actually tried to use distribution.
No. "% told me.
Download FreeBSD 7.0 disk1.
I tried to do the download. This tool only saw drive C, although there were 3 sections.
I started the process of unpacking the isoshnik ... asked for a reboot. rebutted.
I load into Unetbootin ... those logically into the installer BSDi.
But then they tell me that - NTFS is a complete shit. Need a fat.
And here I also had a little trouble.
First, put norton partition manager portable, tk was at hand.
I tried to merge partitions, but it did not help. Threw Norton.
Download paragon partition manager. This thing was able to combine and was able to convert from ntfs to veils.
True, on the contrary, she could not ...
In general, envelope in the veil.
Run UNetbootin
I choose distribution freebsd 7.0
It downloads files from the Internet and asks to rebuy.
After restarting, I choose the Unetbootin boot option.
And Hurray! It launches BSD installer!
Then, in fact, you can read from books smart.
The only thing you need to remember is that everything will be flooded through the Internet.
The topic has already aged a bit, as all the action took place 1.5 years ago, but as it turned out, it is still relevant for some.
