warinthepocket LQ Newbie Registered: Nov 2004 Distribution: FreeBSD, NetBSD Posts: 21 Rep:	NetBSD on a 486 I need some advice on installing NetBSD on a 486 all attempts with floppys have failed, I've used 5 different computers trying to write one, only my laptop was able to write one, but that wouldn't boot. I have also tried to install on the drive and then boot it on the machines but both 486's print "NO BASIC ROM" there is no option to boot from CD-ROM in the older BIOS any ideas? thanks -Dan D.
