Please try to avoid top-posting, as it counts as "bad style" on this maining list; thank you. If the message error {0-01} is displayed as soon as the PC tries to boot from the FreeBSD CD, this may indicate two reasons: The first reason is a problem of the PC itself (e. g. BIOS, defective drive) which I will keep in background for now, as I assume that your PC and CD drive are okay. Second reson is a defective CD, either by media, or by logic. Have you made sure that the CD is bootable, e. g. checked with a second PC or laptop (just booting)? Did you correctly record the ISO file to the CD? Again, make sure you did as explained in the handbook: http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en/books/handbook/install-diff-media.html For example, can you mount the CD on a different system, and does it show the obvious files and structures? Does a different system boot from this CD? -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
