I have just got through installing FreeBSD on my PC. I encountered some problems, on of the worst with the CDROM. It keeps on giving me checksum errors, but if I retry it sometimes it will work. Additionally I keep getting timeout messages, at which point it retries automatically, and so far it has always managed to finish what it is doing (e.g., installing something). Is there anything to be done about these checksum & timeout errors? I am running on a Comtrade 486DX2/66, with a DTC3290ASE (i think) EISA SCSI controller. The CDROM is a mitsumi FX001 using the mitsumi interface card (non-scsi). One related problem that I had was that I got a checksum error attempting to install XWindows, and had to reboot before completing the installation. I thus had no users defined so could not login and had to reinstall. (I have since found out that I could have used root to login?). Mitchell.
