I have a litle probleme while i try to install freebsd 2.1 : As a matter of fact I can't install it from my atapi cdrom(the cdrom drive is not recognised). So i try to install if from a dos partition. But after the creation of my freebsd partitions & labels, the choice of my distribution, when the install programm try to load the root distritubion it failed : "Failed to load the ROOT distribution. Please correct this problem and try again." Some more informations : My Dos partion contain : c:\FreeBsd\floppies where the root.flp is located ( and other files ) c:\FreeBsd contains also all the dists directories and files ... Won't you have aby idea how i can handle this ???? ( I have also try to install it directly from floppie disks, but near the last one the installer tells me : "write error :write -1 of 10240 bytes" or something like that .) Thank you for the attention you paid to me, and I am looking forward having news of you soon .... Xavier Corteggiani ( ogilvy@club-internet.fr )
