I have the Walnut Creek CDROM FreeBSD 3.1 CD, and I'm trying to install from it, and I'm having major problems. The first is that I can't install from the CD itself. If I pick CDROM as a media type, the install says "No CDROM devices found" (EVEN THOUGH I BOOTED THE INSTALL FROM CD!). Further checking (using scroll-lock and up arrow) shows that "wdc1 not found at 0x170". Odd... Using Win98 System Info it shows secondary IDE at IRQ 15 addr 0x170. And that's where my CDROM is, and it works. Well then ok... I try installing from my Win98 partition. The booklet with the CD mentions a "setup.exe" that will copy the dists for me, but that doesn't exist, so fine, I manually copy the ENTIRE CDROM to C:\FREEBSD\, then boot the install, picking MS-DOS partition as the media. That seems to work fine - BUT - when I get the boot menu it lists F1-DOS and F2-FreeBSD. If I hit F2 the machine simply beeps. Does nothing. F1 boots Win98 as expected. Soooooo... What do I need to do to get this puppy working? To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
