Thanks for the response. I have a boot floppy made, which was easy to make using config.exe from cdrom in w95 mode. The problem is booting in dos mode, or booting thru walnut cdrom, or thru bootable floppy is the foll: although, the installation menu comes up, and i can do disk partitioning, and set up diff filesystems /, /usr,/var, BUT WHEN it tries to load the bin, man directories etc., it wants to know where should it load from.. and i say .. cdrom. It comes back saying "cdrom not found". This happens even when the install program is itself running from cdrom. Also, when I boot in dos mode, I can't see h: as my cdrom any more, although I can see it in dos shell. So I think my OS cant see my cdrom, although w95 can. Also, my cdrom is Goldstar, which is not in the list of supported controllers/ cdrom drives. Now I am trying the following: copying all of cdrom contents onto D: drive, so that I may ( I hope I can) later choose to load through DOS partition and be able to specify that drive. ( I have C+D drive on my HD1 and E on HD2- I plan to use E as my bsd disk) I dont know if it will work. Do you have any clue, how I can make the installation program look at the bin etc. dirs. ? Please let me know, Thanks, -Satwant. P.S.
