Hi, Thanks for even looking at this e-mail. There have been so many posts with CDROM problems all of which i should probably have been reading, but I decided that Linux installation from cdrom went well, fbsd would be easy too. Not the case. :( Here's my problem, I got the boot floppy, starts ok. I partiton my drive, ok. The it comes to finding the source where to install from. I select cdrom, but all i get is an detect error. Now I'm trying to pass some options at the boot: prompt, but not sure what I'm supposed to type. I tried the following: 1:wdc(0,a)-C 1:wd(2,a) -C 1:mcd(0,a) I get Can't find <the above tries> The cdrom is a generic ATAPI drive (Linux had it as CDR-S1G). If anyone could give me hand, I would much appreciate it. Thanks in advance. Peter To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
