I have no idea if you have a mailing list that exists for absolute newbies or not, but I am having a problem installing BSD 2.2.2. I realise that new BSD versions exist, but would like to see how it looked and worked back then, before installing BSD 2.2.7. The problem I'm having is the following: My bios is set to boot up from cd...this works fine. I ge the BSD boot page, showing me all the components as they are installing. It then runs through to the installation pages (asking to perform the "fdisk equivalent, choosing whether you want all the ports, etc..then it asks where you would like to install from...I select cdrom installation. It then says it can't find my cd-rom. The question is: what am i doing wrong ? why does it detect my cd on bootup, but not in the actual FreeBSD environment ? Hope you can help Thanks Warren To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
