The following reply was made to PR misc/20408; it has been noted by GNATS. From: Sheldon Hearn <sheldonh@uunet.co.za> To: jhb@FreeBSD.org Cc: freebsd-gnats-submit@FreeBSD.org Subject: Re: misc/20408: Distribution CDs will not boot on IBM ThinkPad 600E Date: Mon, 07 Aug 2000 14:36:03 +0200 Hi John, Any ideas how to work around this? > When attempting to boot a FreeBSD CD, the boot loads off of the disc, > but the bootboot reports: Can't work out which disc we are loading from. > Guessed BIOS device 0x8b not found by probes, defaulting to disk0: I realize that there's nothing the loader can do, so I'm just wondering whether there's any trick the originator might be able to pull in the BIOS.
