Hi All,

I downloaded the 4.6 release CDs from the FreeBSD FTP site. (The .iso files)

I xfered these files to a Windows box (the only one which has a CD-RW drive)
and tried burning the 4.6-disc1.iso file using Easy CD Creator - I used the
ISO 9660 option.

I began the FreeBSD installation on an old box which noone was using. The
BIOS for this box doesn't allow for a bootable CD. So, I used the 2 floppy
method to configure and get it upto sysinstall. However, when I choose the
CD option and begin the installation, the Installer doesn't recognize the
CD.

I was wondering if anybody's tried doing what I am attempting here. If so,
where did I go wrong?
1. Do I have to view the .iso file's contents through vnconfig and copy them
onto a CD?
2. Do I HAVE to use RockRidge format - EasyCDCreator doesn't have that
option. So, which PC-based CD Writing software can I use?

Thanks for your assistance.

Rgds,
Raja
