The .iso file is an compressed file. If the CD you are trying to boot from only has a single .iso file then you did not burn the cd correctly. It should look like an regular data CD with directories, and sub-directories populated with files. If you can use FBSD to mount the CD, and use the cd [change directory] command to point to it and then ls command to see the contents, then your boot problem lies some where else than with the CD disk. -----Original Message----- From: owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org [mailto:owner-freebsd-questions@freebsd.org]On Behalf Of Alvin Sent: Wednesday, December 03, 2003 6:04 PM To: questions@FreeBSD.org Subject: Urgent Installation problems (CD) Thank you for your time. I burned the .iso for i386 (release 5.1) on the CD and configured the BIOS to boot from the CD but it won't boot from it. I have also tried using the floppy to install it but it can't detect the .iso in the CD. Are there other files that must be burned to the CD. I have burned BeOS PE Max edition to the CD to test if my computer can boot from the CD. It worked perfectly and booted from it.
