Not True ! On the 2nd disk is the installation for Alpha. From now on eg further releases it will be a seperate distribution. Besides, there is a loader on the disk in /boot....... Why is does not work is something else. I still hope someone is able to help me out on this. The installation guide (in Complete FreeBSD) was written using a PWS433au, the same as I have, so it should be possible to get it up and running Andrew Gallatin wrote: > Peter Jeremy writes: > > On 1999-Oct-20 00:49:52 +1000, Andrew Gallatin wrote: > > >BTW, I've never even *seen* a 3.3 CD-ROM, much less used one.
