Greetings, I'm new to the list and new to FreeBSD. Here is my situation: I have downloaded the 4.7-mini iso from one of the ftp sites. I have extracted the file and burnt it onto a cd-rw as a data cd (ISO) using nero. I am trying to install FreeBSD from this disc, but am having difficulty. A little more background on my current system config... I am running win2k pro (NTFS), which is dedicated to one of my hard drives. I have freed up another hard drive (3 GB) to install nix. I changed my BIOS settings to boot from CD, restarted and... the system boots into windows. I feel I'm just overlooking a simple detail, but I'm not familiar enough with FreeBSD yet to understand what I need to do to install. I have read the eratta.txt, readme.txt and the install.txt, but can't seem to find what file is the actual install file, or how I can go about installing from the CD onto my available drive? Any help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks, Bill To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
