I have just built a new computer and am trying to do a cdrom install of FreeBSD 4.2 using: http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install-guide.html Status: 13.6 gig. Western Digital HD has been formatted using Western Digital Disk Utility. I have made no partitions. The HD is to be dedicated to FreeBSD OS. Dos executable mscdex.exe has been installed and I am able to access the Acer CD-RW on D:\. I have set up BIOS to boot up with CD-RW drive. Upon boot, FreeBSD iso on cd does not run. Once computer completes boot and brings up C:\ prompt, I can switch to D:\ and read from the drive that the FreeBSD iso file is there on the cdrom. How do I execute installation from the iso file on cdrom? Can anyone help me with a jumpstart? I must be missing something very basic. First-timer here. I appreciate your time and patience.
