Quoting Philip Black <pblack@mad.scientist.com>: [000920 05:56]: #>I'm not sure what to tell you. #>I got the FreeBSD powerpack with intall CD's. I have two Hard drives. The #>c drive contains win98, the second is partitioned into a win98 drive, and an #>unformatted partition. #>I can boot from a cd using my scsi drive. #>I tried this and it stated that it was going to boot, told me that the #>CD-ROM became the a: drive, and the floppy became the b: #>it stated that the scsi bios was installed #>then it stopped. It seem to be trying to access the floppy drive. I could #>hear it. I left it for ten minutes and there was no change. Can you help You should set the boot sequence from the computer BIOS. Check what it is at the moment. I have a PC with a SCSI CD-ROM (scsi bios enabled) and it can boot from a CD-ROM. I do not understand how CD-ROM becomes A: and Floppy becomes B: Maybe you should also disable the 2nd floppy! Your boot sequence should start with SCSI,C,A which should work!!! I'm sorry if I have not helped you but it is your English which is a bit difficult to comprehend.
