Download the boot floppy from the website and do the install. The FreeBSD boot floppy will make your cdrom work fine, at least for FreeBSD. You will be able to successfully install FreeBSD. You can then fix your DOS cdrom driver at your leisure. FWIW: You are a victim of the dreaded "What do you mean my win95 boot floppy does not have cdrom drivers on it?" virus. (It reproduces it self on millions of systems and has detrimental effect ::snicker::) My advice is to always have a win95 floppy that will install cdrom drivers. This is a win95 issue only but I include this advice anyway because so many people get burned by it. http://www.freebsd.org/handbook/install.html Thank you, | Try some of this. It will show you where you're at. Jason Wells | http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
