I was installing FreeBSD 2.0 off cdrom and believe I may have
found a bug.  I made the 5 1/4 "floppy" boot disk and could
only get a error message of c:20 a:30  h:40  or something like
that ;)  I found out that the system that formated that floppy
had a diifernt versions of dos commands like format, copy, ect.

It worked fine and did make a boot disk  using the cd rom of Freebsd,
but it did not work on my system.  When I made the boot disk on 
another Dos clone machine with Dos 6.2 installed properly it worked
fine on my pentium system!!!  To verify it I made another boot floppy
on the suspected bad machine and it did the same error messages.  I have
the error message written down somewhere  if you need them.


Also... I have a NEWBIE question.  How the #$%^&*(  do I access
my cd rom Freebsd disk under UNIX????  I have a buslogic 946C
Scsi card and a ssci NEC quad speed cd-rom with a seagate internal ssci and 
a wangtech DAT.  The system sees the cd when it goes through all the 
drives durring it's boot up procedure.  But when I do a   DF  it
does not show up.  I have tried mount -a   but it says something
about incompaditable system thing.   Please excuse my beginner
questions..but the last freebsd 1.0 I FTP'd.  I would like to add some
packages like emacsxc
