You will need to use the NFS Option when doing the install. You will also need an NFS Server for Windows 95. You can get OMNI NFS from http://www.winfiles.com export your CD drive with Read Write list access on Windows 95, then install via NFS. Make sure your Win95 box has an IP Address on the network. Say your win95 box has an IP of 192.168.1.1 and your CD-Rom is drive D and you want the BSD box to have 192.168.1.2 Select the NFS Option (Start up the server on Win95 too!) Configure Networking on FreeBSD with 192.168.1.2 as the IP and give it a temp host name etc if you'd like. Make sure the Win95 box and the bsd box use the same gateway IT will ask for the path of the NFS server type 192.168.1.1:/d/ and press enter. It shoudl mount the cdrom and begin the installation -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG]On Behalf Of Scott Sent: Thursday, September 24, 1998 8:45 PM To: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Subject: Installation problems I am wanting to install FreeBsd on a box that doesnt have a cd-rom drive, but is networked with a win95 box that does have a cdrom drive. I have TCP/IP installed on the win95 box and I haven't been able to get the installation to go. So what I am wondering if its possible for linux to recognize my 95 box or do I need some additional software for this to work. Both machines have a 3Com 3c509 cards and I haven't noticed linux recognizing my card when its starting up. Anyway, any info you could provide would be appreciated.
