I tried to install FreeBSD 3.1 from my Hitachi CDR-7730 (4X) CDROM drive. Many of the package installations fail -- write failure on transfer -- but when I attempt to install from a DOS directory (C:\FREEBSD) and chose the correct path it fails -- no root device found - or - file system full. I've deleted and recreated the FreeBSD slice many times, but I don't know what to do at this point. Hopefully I haven't overlooked some important instruction. I've cleaned the CDROM drive, but that didn't seem to help. Is a new Sony CDU711 32X CDROM Drive a good choice? Is there any way I can set the installation to use different variables so I have a better chance of the installation going through? Curiously, I had FreeBSD 3.0 installed last week, but deleted it after messing the X Windows configuration files. It (along with SuSE 6.1) won't install, but other things from Win95 seem to be OK.
